Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
— Colossians 3:13-15 New Living Translation
“Reaching For The Light”
Know Thyself … p 92
Seldom do we give thought to how vital this timeworn epithet, ‘… Know Thyself …,’ figures in our well-being. And little do we realize how daunting the task.
To know ourself is to know Harmony of mind, body and soul, subsumed in a sense of deep inner peace. The business of coming to know ourself, like all else that is good, is akin to the pursuit of Truth; self-honesty being paramount. It means going within and purging mundane thought, such that mortal mind is taken to a higher, spiritual plane whereby the soul, long veiled by materialism, is seen to be what it is — our true inner self. With new-found values that affirm our blissful state, we are forever transformed.
