THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

not aggressive and the rich are. Some say that the rich grasp opportunity
while the poor do not.
We know that there are some who want to be materially poor and

Spiritually rich, so they seclude themselves as a means of loosening the bonds
of attachment and desire from the temporary things of the world. They look
upon things as a hindrance to Spiritual growth, yet their desire for Spiritual
growth is just as much a hindrance as the desire for the material growth. They

try to “become” through the idea that the material is a hindrance. “Becoming”
and the means of “becoming” is also an illusion.
“Being” is a “state” now! Not in some future time, because the state

of “being” is not of time but of the Timeless.
Millions of people are trying to combat “want” because want appears
to them as a Reality, so they struggle hard to elevate themselves to a station

of Life which they call a standard of living, and with the standard of living
they face fierce competition and many insurmountable difficulties always

Their lives are a see-saw of gain and loss which leads to confusion
and ultimate misery; they struggle for a result but the result does not come,

a state of “Being” in the boundless reservoir of supply and have the right

to the temporary possession of wealth.
There is no end to the boundless reservoir of supply, because there is no
end to “Being.” Therefore they do not seek end nor do they seek a continuity

for this is also an illusion that arises when we want to “become.”
Those who understand, enjoy ownership during the span of a life-time
on earth which is of a brief duration, they know that at the fateful moment

of their earthly exit their material riches become the possessions of others
while the boundless reservoir remains, unchanging and Eternal.
Therefore if you would be rich with contentment, seek the boundless

reservoir of supply that is within the Consciousness of God and which is also
