THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

First we must find out what being Spiritual means. Now Spirituality
does not consist of intellectual theology. Spirituality does not consist of examination
of phenomena in other planes. Spirituality is not the exclusive worship by

any sect whether it is Christianity, Hinduism, Mohammedanism or Judaism.
Spirituality does not consist of distinctions whether a man is a bishop, a priest,
cardinal, a pope, a rabbi, a king or a tramp.
True Spirituality is to be all-inclusive without any distinctions. This can

be arrived at, and it is not very difficult. But it can be difficult, even impossible,
through distinctions and the majority choose this way. True Spirituality is also
an awareness of the true values. Our sense of values is upside down, and unless

we can get a true sense of values we cannot arrive at a state of mind enabling
us to act without distinction, without craving, without antagonism, which
can only bring sorrow and conflict.

Therefore true Spirituality is to be all-inclusive without distinctions,
with a sense of true values, and the expression of affection, wisdom and healing to
all in thought and action. This alone brings us true happiness, for the law never

fails to attract to us that which is expressed in ourselves with sincerity.
When you begin to understand this, the distinction between material
and spiritual disappears. We will no longer separate ourselves as superior beings
because we think ourselves more spiritual.

When we understand the laughter and tears of Life with others who
have the same laughter and tears hidden in them. When we have understood
this, then we will not divide up Life, saying this one is Spiritual and this one is

material or this one is spiritual and this one is not spiritual.
The world is ourselves multiplied millions of times and any result must
be from a change in ourselves. But we must not be caught in the effect, lest
we lose the substance for the shadow. To be aware of the “Presence” and

being that “Presence” which is never antagonistic, never separated, is the
essential thing, and knowing that understanding and love are its highest
achievements in human life.

Do not battle with or struggle with ethics, virtues and their opposites. If
we battle against error longing for virtues we are caught up in both. Most
people hack themselves to pieces with vices and virtues. If our desire is the

pursuing of happiness, then the perfume of understanding is to lay the emphasis on
the essential. The “Presence” is the only essential, It Itself is freedom, unlimited
expression, in this lies our happiness and freedom. Wisdom gilded by Love is

the perfect expression of the “Presence” in us all.
