OURSELVES AND OTHERS
The worship of the Master of works demands a clear recognition and glad acknowledgment
of him in ourselves, in
all things and in all happenings. Equality is the sign of this adoration; it is the soul’s ground on which true
sacrifice and worship can be done. The Lord is there in all equally in all beings, we have to make no essential
distinctions between ourselves and others, the wise and the ignorant, friend and enemy, man and animal, the saint
and the sinner. We must hate none, despise none, be repelled by none; for in all we have to see the One disguised
or manifested at his pleasure. He is a little revealed in one or more revealed in another or concealed and wholly
distorted in others according to his will and his knowledge of what is best for that which he intends to become
in form in them and to do in works in their nature. All is our self, one self that has taken many shapes.
Aware of the universal Self in all
She turned to living hearts and human forms;
Her soul's reflections, complements, counterparts,
The close outlying portions of her being
Divided from her by walls of body and mind
Yet to her spirit bound by ties divine.
