The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | DECEMBER 1933
Truth Is, Peace Is, Love Is, on earth as in Heaven, for evermore.”
When we awoke, as it were, from this glorious illumination, finding ourselves sitting in our chairs, it was two A. M., Easter Sunday morning, 1932.

MEDITATION
“EVERY soul must take time daily for quiet and meditation. In this lies the secret of power. No one can grow in either spiritual knowledge or power without it. Practice the presence of God just as you would practice music.
You may be so busy with the doing, the outgoing of love to help others (which is unselfish and Godlike as far as it goes), that you find no time to go apart. But the command, or rather the invitation, is, ‘Come ye apart and rest awhile.’ And believe me, it is the only way you will ever gain definite knowledge, newness of experience, steadiness of purpose or power to meet the unknown which must come in all daily life. Doing is secondary to being. When we are consciously the truth, it will radiate from us and accomplish the works without our ever running to and fro. If you have no time for this quiet meditation, make time, take time. Watch carefully, and you will find that there are some things, even in the active, unselfish doing, which would better be left undone than that you should neglect regular concentrated meditation.”
