The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | APRIL 1935

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”

This vision of the prophetic will become true when the earth becomes full of the knowledge of the Lord, Who is Love itself. When man knows God as the Lord of Love, and himself becomes Love, then the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord; and thus the vision of the prophet will become true in the experience of man and all creation. —From Amor est Justitia, The Hague, Netherlands.

A NATION’S STRENGTH

WHAT makes a nation’s pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?

NOT gold, but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor’s sake
Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men, who work while others sleep—
Who dare while others fly—
They build a nation’s pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
—Emerson.

To think is to create—do not be embarrassed by your own creations.

All experience should be regarded as blessings instead of trials and tests or Karmic effects of previous deeds.
