Daily meditation, 24th June: James Allen

Learn the lessons of Virtue, and thus build up in the strength of knowledge, destroying ignorance and the ills of life.

JUNE TWENTY - FOURTH

WHERE Love is, God is, and where Goodness lives There Christ abides; and he who daily strives against self and selfishness, shaping his mind For Truth and Purity, shall surely find The Master’s presence in his inmost heart. God shall be one with him (and not apart) Who overcomes himself, and makes his life Godlike and holy; banishing all strife far from him; letting hate and anger die, and greed and pride and fleshly lusts that lie to God and Goodness: great shall be his Peace, Happy and everlasting his release from pain and sorrow who doth conquer sin. To the pure heart comes God and dwells therein: He only who the Path of Good hath trod Hath found the Life that’s "hid with Christ in God."

" Make pure thy heart, and thou wilt make thy life rich, sweet, and beautiful, unmarred by strife."

Daily meditation, June 23rd: James Allen

Truth can only be arrived at by daily and hourly doing the lessons of Virtue.

JUNE TWENTY - THIRD

IN a properly governed household the child is first taught to be obedient, and to conduct itself properly under all circumstances. The child is not even told why it must do this, but is commanded to do it, and only after it has so far succeeded in doing what is right and proper is it told why it should do it.

No father would attempt to teach his child the principles of ethics before exacting from it the practice of filial duty and social virtue.

Virtue can only be known by doing, and the knowledge of Truth can only be arrived at by perfecting oneself in the practice of Virtue; and to be complete in the practice and acquisition of Virtue is to be complete in the knowledge of Truth.

Undaunted by failure, and made stronger by difficulties.
