THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

When we rebel against effects we only increase their intensity without
gaining any understanding or relief. The most destructive conditioning today is
brought about through the battle between individuals one way or another.

In every nation, in every group there is a conception of Reality which
they call God. But is this not just an intellectual approach to Reality? Most
people are discussing Reality so as to find out what Reality is, hence we have
so many different philosophies, so many different religions.

The mind cannot comprehend Reality but we can translate Reality
into our daily living by understanding that the only way we can approach
Reality is by affection and Love, then we find ourselves giving expression

to Reality Itself, thus we translate Reality into our everyday Life.
Most people are trying to corner a bit of Reality for their health and
success. If they succeed they say they are expressing Reality, but when they

find that it does not work there is frustration. This is not expressing Reality, it is
mere suggestion in opposition to another suggestion or idea that is held hidden
in the mind and according to the dominant idea so will be manifested.

We must realize that there is only one way to express Reality and that is
through Love and affection, then there is no frustration, no opposition, for
Reality can only express Itself through Love and affection. But this affection
does not mean that you merely love God with the idea that you can get what

you want. It means that you must love your neighbour because Reality cannot
express Itself except through loving your neighbour.
Is it not a fact today that people are seeking the Love of God, but hate

their enemies? They pray to God for peace, but they are preparing for war.
They want success and happiness at the expense of their neighbour, but they
are really cheating themselves.
If you look into your own mind you will see that this is but a subtle

form of suggestion, which is deeply rooted in your conditioning. So your
inward poverty makes you look to the external. While you merely discuss
Reality, you are not translating Reality into your daily living, you are merely

expressing the self.
If you look into your minds you will see how you have been discussing
Reality as an idea, so the idea in your mind becomes to you the Truth when it

is only an idea of the Truth and is not the Truth.
But when we see that our idea is but an imitation, a mental conception,
it dies away and Life becomes a Reality to us, not as an idea or a mental
