December 1952

Dear friends,

My very best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and a Bright

and Happy New Year. At this time families and friends will be gathering
around the dinner table. New friendships will be created and old scars will
be forgotten. . . Or will they be forgotten?

I can remember when I was in France in the First World War, when
Christmas came enemies became friends and we joined in Christmas greetings
to each other. But this lasted for one day only. If this friendship can last a

day it can last a lifetime if we would see the cause of our antagonism.
Is it not so that we quarrel only about that which we make up in our
minds? We do not quarrel about the Truth because the Truth is in each one
of us. It is the Life that is the foundation of all and makes us all brothers and

sisters. In this there is Love and Freedom. What we make up in our minds
creates enmity and suspicion.
If you can see what your mind is made up of, then you will understand

the cause of antagonism. In Reality we have no enemies. This was the way of
Life of the man whose birthday we celebrate at this time but few think of what
he gave to us. He gave us a way of Life which, if followed will bring-in a
world of peace, plenty and security for all, for the security of all means security

for the individual.
The Eternal Love-Life alone is freedom and security and is Ever-
present. Is it not our past memories that condition us? When we begin to

realize that we have created antagonism within ourselves through our own
thought-feeling-reaction that enslaves us to its own creation, it will dissolve
away and that which is Eternal and Ever-present will manifest its one Freedom

and Love. We do not create It, It is Itself creative and we are one with It.
“I of myself an nothing it is the Spirit of the Father within me that
doeth the work.”
