The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | APRIL 1936

I am so very thankful for both these evidences of growth in understanding manifested by my two dearest friends. They have sort of been my pupils since last summer I mean by that, that Christ has been reaching them with enlightenment through the channel of myself. I well know of mine own self I can do nothing—GOD DOES THE WORK.

THEY THAT SEEK ME

“THEY that seek Me early shall find Me—when they search for Me with their whole heart.”

Father, thou knowest I have always sought Thee, and now that I have found Thee I give Thee all acknowledgment and eternal Praise.

For I know that Thou hast led me from the beginning, and hast taught me the uselessness of human endeavor divorced from the realization of Thy Living Presence.

Thou art now all to me, and I live but to do Thy Will. I trust Thee to show me each step, knowing that Thou wilt lead me straight to the Kingdom, the narrow way—the joyous way—the path of peace Thy dear Son’s feet have walked; the path of Loving Service to my fellowman.

I thank Thee for the Glow in my heart that is Thy Eternal Life. I am awake on all planes of being. Never again shall I dream amidst material things; but always I see through to the One Reality where the Blessed Face of Thee, my Beloved, ever shines, and leads me on and up.

I praise Thy Holy Name, forever and ever.

TO BE a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school—but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically. —Thoreau.
