James Allen's Daily Meditations: May 22nd
James Allen's meditations answer the burning question within us all. How should we act?
I hope you enjoy today's meditation concerning the Kingdom of Heaven.
Find the Kingdom by daily effort and patient work.
May 22nd
THE Temple of Righteousness is built, and its four walls are the four Principles—Purity, Wisdom, Compassion, Love. Peace is its roof, its floor is Steadfastness, its entrance door is Selfless Duty, its atmosphere is Inspiration, and its music is the Joy of the perfect. It cannot be shaken, and, being eternal and indestructible, there is no more need to seek protection in taking thought for the things of the morrow. And the Kingdom of Heaven being established in the heart, the obtaining of the material necessities of life is no more considered, for, having found the Highest, all these things are added as effect to cause, the struggle for existence has ceased, and the spiritual, mental, and material needs are daily supplied from the Universal Abundance.
Pay the price . . . the unconditional abandonment of self.
