CHAPTER 60
Man spends his life in the shadow of his pride, and it is this pride, one day, that will make him the deluded man, without God. He forms an image of himself that is larger than the largest mountain, and yet he crumbles with the slightest sway of a breeze that may go against him. It's all what you think yourselves to be - but nothing what you really are! Your aspirations are to find and become God - yet your practices, study, and behavior to attain this are quite the contrary.
The true nature of God that lies within you cannot be proven by another, but it remains only to be discovered by you. You can question the truth several times, but the answer lies only in experiencing it, yourselves. You can theoretically learn the skills of driving and know the fact and function of every part that lies in the car, but without the actual practice of learning the control behind the steering wheel, you will never actually learn the true skills of being a good driver. Yes! The fact must be your faith, the faith must become the practice, and practice will lead to pure perfection.
You find it difficult to believe in that which cannot be proven - yet think, My dears, of how many questions remain unanswered; like, why birth? Why death? Why life? What is the force that lies behind creation? Several facts remain unproven and unclear to you, because the one answer that lies behind several of these unspoken questions is, O sweet, "the existence of God"! You must stop to doubt this one fact that remains to be the only truth that lies in you and around you. All else is the waking dream - a dream that has become your agitation of desires. You have begun to cling to your imaginations and have developed fearful attachments to each character, each role and every scene.
All can be owned, yet none of these material possessions will give you the sense of being complete and content. The self within you is the owner of all, yet the need of the self is none other but to "give". The treasury of the king is full, yet all including him, belongs to his subjects. That is what makes him the "king", for he is able to sit on a golden throne with all the riches that surround him, and still, he only thinks and lives to protect the children of the kingdom. The sound of his victory in the kingdom is none other but the smile of contentment of his subjects. His ministers are his mind, and his armies are his hands. You, too, must be the king that sits on the golden throne of "faith" - faith in the God that is your life. Fill your treasures, My dears, with the virtues and character that speak your faith, and use this treasure to serve the contentment that lies in the purity and goodness to all - for you must be their angel that spreads her wings of love to protect them from the false glitter of gold. Be the gold, and let each act become a jewel that will only enhance the beauty of God - God is your only beauty, all the rest is only pride - the pride in hollow vanity.
