O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou has sent me.

Harmony … p. 78
It is an irrefutable fact — one that each can put to the test himself — that life’s many challenges are not met with reason alone. The workings of the mind, held captive by a lifetime of habit, cannot but lead to the conclusion that possessions, the things of the world, are the final arbiter of inner peace and happiness: a conclusion that defies the lingering turmoil within. Thus are we driven to probe deeper into our consciousness. While in a state of repose we direct our thoughts to those of love and gratitude, for ourself and our fellow beings. Free of judgment and conscious of the good in others — that which is of our divine soul — we are infused with a sense of selflessness and humility; one that binds us to the universal maxim, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Thus may we confront our challenges in truth, and thus may we find spiritual enlightenment, that which has so long eluded us: peace and harmony within.
