How To Walk On The Path Of Peace (Part 6 of 6)

From the beginning of time, people, in spite of their needs, in the midst of all their attachment to material things, have been intuitively conscious of the limited, transient, and illusionary nature of their material existence, and in their wise and silent moments have tried to reach out into an understanding of the Infinite.

And here is the common ground of faith; " that we are essentially and spiritually divine and eternal, and that, immersed in mortality and troubled with conflict and turmoil, we are ever striving to enter into a consciousness of our true nature.

The spirit of humanity is inseparable from the Infinite, and is not at peace until the oneness is experienced again. As the smallest drop of water detached from the ocean, contains all the qualities of the ocean, so are you, detached in consciousness from the Infinite, containing within yourself its likeness; and as the drop of water must, by the law of nature, ultimately find its way back to the ocean and lose itself in its silent depths, so must you, by the unfailing law of nature, at last return to your source, and lose yourself in the great ocean of the Infinite.

Where you find gentleness, patience, humbleness, kindness, self-control, selflessness, and deep compassion, look there for the highest wisdom, seek the company of such people, for they have realized the Divine, they live with the Eternal.

Problems exist only in our own self-created illusions, and they vanish away when we surrender our limitations.

Once you have surrendered, you leave behind you all confusion, and enter into simplicity, so profoundly simple. You will have realized the highest wisdom. You accomplish effortlessly, and all problems dissolve before you, for you have entered the region of Truth, and deal, not with changing effects, but with the unchanging principles of things.

When a fierce storm is raging no one is angered by it, because they know it will quickly pass away, and when the storms of conflict are devastating nations; the wise ones, looking with the eye of Truth and compassion, know that it will pass away, and that out of the wreckage of broken hearts, which it leaves behind, the immortal sanctuary of Wisdom will be built.

Sublimely patient; infinitely compassionate; deep, silent, and pure, their very presence is a blessing; and when they speak people reflect upon their blessed words in their hearts, and rise to higher levels of awareness. Such are they whom have entered into the Infinite, whom by the power of absolute surrender have solved the sacred mystery of life.

These blessed people, leave for us, a pathway to follow, a legacy to fulfill. They have paved the way for us to become the peace we desire so earnestly outside of ourselves. May we each have the courage to claim our inheritance of peace, by first becoming the peace, through our thoughts, words and actions.
