Peace Pilgrim

[Guest guest]

Continue from Peace Pilgrim:

So I got busy on a very interesting project. This was to live all the good

things I believed in. I did not confuse myself by trying to take them all at

once, but rather, if I was doing something that I knew I should not be doing,

I stopped doing it, and I always made a quick relinquishment. You see, that's

the easy way. Tapering off is long and hard. And if I was not doing something

that I knew I should be doing. I got busy on that. It took the living quite a

while to catch up with the believing, but of course it can, and now if I

believe something, I live it. Otherwise it would be perfectly meaningless. As

I lived according to the highest light that I had, I discovered that other

light was given, and that I opened myself to receiving more light as I lived

the light I had.

These laws are the same for all of us, and these are the things that we can

study and talk about together. But there is also a third preparation ;that has

to do with something which is unique for every human life because every one of

us has a special place in the life Pattern. If you do not yet know clearly

where you fit, I suggest that you try seeking it in receptive silence. I used

to walk amid the beauties of nature, just receptive and silent, and wonderful

insights would come to me. You begin to do your part in ;the Life Pattern by

doing all the good things you feel motivated toward, even though they are just

little good things at first. You give these priority in your life over all the

superficial things that customarily clutter human lives.

There are those who know and do not do. This is very sad. I remember one day

as I walked along the highway a very nice car stopped and the man said to me,

"How wonderful that you are following your calling !" I replied, "I certainly

think that everyone should be doing what feels right to do."

He thaen began telling me what he felt motivated toward, and it was a good

thing that needed doing. I got quite enthusiastic about it and took for

granted that he was doing it. I said, "That's wonderful ! How are you getting

on with it ?

And he answered, "Oh, I'm not doing it. That kind of work doesn't pay

anything." And I shall never gorget how desperately unhappy that man was.

But you see, in this materialistic age we ;have such a false criterion by

which to measure success. We measure it in terms of dollars, in terms of

material things. But happiness and inner peace do not lie in that direction.

If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.

............I will continue rest in the next.

Namaskar to all.
