All the old traditions tell us that there is more than one path to the great Goal. Just as there is more than one road up every great mountain, and yet all reads meet at the top, so in the spiritual quest there are several roads, all of which lead in due season to the one great End.
There is the path of knowledge. True knowledge of divine things is one of the appointed paths to attainment; but that path is by no means for everyone. And there is the pathway of action—of organized activity—and the world needs this too; but this again usually calls for a special gift, and special circumstances in which to apply it. And there are others.
The shortest and the easiest pathway of all is the pathway of Love. It is the one pathway that is open to all, irrespective of what their personal conditions or circumstances may be. For every man, everywhere, the true attainment awaits through the yoga of Love, for yoga means union and it is our union with God that makes the attainment possible.
There is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment…(1 John 4:18).
…God is Love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16)
Lord, let us this day dwell in your love, and let your love cast out all our fear.
When we choose the path of love, we assure our communion with God regardless of the environment in which we exist. When fear tries to overcome us, answer it with love. When hurt, anger and bitterness threaten to rob us of all that is dear, defend against them with love. And when all our efforts fail to resolve that which torments us, endure those torments through love.
Yes, it is very hard to express love when hurt and disappointment, combined with every human instinct, shoves us toward fear. That is why we need God when confronted with that which separates us from love. For it is when we accept God’s dominion over us, that His love will flow into every hurt, every fear and every torment, filling them with the balm of God’s healing power. Then we will be made well, even when our hurts are unresolved and fear stalks us in our garden. When we and God are one, his love ensures our gardens will be safe, free form fear and blessed beyond all that concerns us.
All you need is love,
