MastersFarEastThe following is an excerpt from “Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East” by Baird T. Spalding. (Volume I, page 118-119)  It speaks of the qualities of divine love—boundless and unconditional. According to the author, these words were spoken by an enlightened female being who was teaching the group as they sat for a meal.

 

“The Tree of Life is located in the midst of the paradise of God, the very depth of our own soul, and the rich abundant fruit that grows and ripens to the fullest perfection; the most perfect and life-giving, is Love.  Love has been defined by those who perceive its true character as the greatest thing in the world. I might add that it is the greatest healing force in the world. Love never fails to meet every demand of the human heart. The Divine Principle of love may be used to eliminate every sorrow, every infirmity, every harsh condition, and every lack that harasses humanity. With the right understanding and use of the subtle and illimitable influence of love, the world may be healed of its wounds and the sweet mantle of its heavenly compassion may cover all in harmony, all ignorance, and all mistakes of mankind.

 

With wings outstretched, Love searches out the arid spots of the human heart, the waste places of life, and with seeming magic touch redeems humanity and transforms the world.  Love is God, eternal, limitless, changeless, going beyond all vision in to infinitude.  The end we can only envision.  Love fulfills the law of its own, consummates its perfect work, and reveals the Christ within the soul of man.  Love is ever seeking an inlet whereby it may flow forth into the soul of man and pour itself out as all good to him.  If it is not disturbed by man’s perversity and discordant thinking, God’s eternal, changeless current of love flows ever onward, carrying before it, into the great universal sea of forgetfulness, every appearance of in harmony or ugliness which disturbs the peace of man.  Love is the perfect fruit of the Spirit; it goes forth, binding up the wounds of humanity, drawing nations into closer harmony, and bringing peace and prosperity to the world.  It is the very pulse of the world, the heartbeat of the universe.  Humanity must be charged with this current of love from the Omnipresent Life if it would do the works of Jesus.

 

Does life press heavily upon you?  Do you need courage and strength to meet the problems that confront you?  Are you sick or afraid?  If so, lift your heart and pray to Him who leads the way. The imperishable love of God enfolds you. You need not fear.  Did He not say, “Before they call I will hear?  Approach this throne of grace boldly, not as you have thought of beseeching and groveling attitude, but with the prayer of understanding faith, knowing that the help you stand in need of is already yours.  Never doubt. Do more—ask.  Claim your birthright as the Invisible, Universal Substance, in which we all live and move and have our being, is every good and perfect thing that man can desire, waiting to be drawn forth by faith into the visible form or manifestation.”
