The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | DECEMBER 1936

ONLY ONE MASTER

YES, there are many masters, but only one real Master, as Jesus said—the One in the heart of every man, the Light which lighteth him—even the Christ. That you may know Him as He is, read carefully our booklet on “The Word Made Flesh.” It will bring a new light and a new understanding to you.

What matters it who is the personality through which is given forth the teachings of The Sun Center? What you love are the truths in them, and it is your soul that loves them and causes you mind to become so interested. Surely from The Impersonal Life you have learned that these personalities of ours are nothing, and that the Real Selves of each other we never see with our mortal eyes. So even were you to see or know the one writing this letter, you would not be any better off; you would be but satisfying your human curiosity.

ONE’S SPIRITUAL STATUS

IT IS no visions or dreams that indicate one’s Spiritual status, for those who receive direct inner guidance do not need such help.

Do not let your failure to win your family to the Truth concern you, because maybe it is your family and their attitude that are the means used by your Higher Self to establish you more firmly in these truths, so that the time comes when they cannot help but see what you have done for you, and they will want them for themselves.

Just keep this in mind, and try to prove these truths to them by living them, not by words or by your preaching.

SHOULD ONE GIVE WHILE IN DEBT?

ANSWERING your question whether one in debt should withhold money given for spiritual needs, can you not realize that what money you receive belongs not to your creditors but to God, Who is not only the Real Self of you but of every one of your creditors; that He is also your supply and can easily provide for your every need, by inspiring any one of His expressions to assist you—if you will but truly love and trust Him. In fact, by seeing and feeling lack and a limited supply, it not only clogs up the channel of your consciousness so that God cannot reach you, but it causes the lack and limitation to manifest more fully in your life. When you fully trust Him and give unhesitatingly whenever urged from within, think you that He Who does the urging cannot supply you with plenty more from many outer sources? Think this over until you get its full meaning.
