THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

how can you help others to find that happiness unless you have first found
Love yourself?
Have you hamstrung yourself? Many have, for the simple reason that

they although good kind and generous, do not know how to open up the flow
of the Living Water of Love from within, this can only be done when the self
has disappeared. If the self is always in evidence then there can be no true

brought into being by Love and not by harshness, both in the home and in
the institution.

The beautiful wife, the clever child or the brilliant husband is excellent
and brings approval but that is not Love, sometimes the ugly duckling is more
fortunate. Love is expressed through the touch of the hand, the tone of the

voice, the look in the eye, the smile on the face and the absence of the self.
“O Love, where art thou?”
