Prayer to the Divine Indweller

Lift up the gates of ignorance.

The first to work definitely to inculcate the constructive principles of the Law of Life should be those whose consciousness can grasp and realise that love, compassion, justice, co-operation and all constructive forces neutralise and transmute the evil that the terrible rising tide of unrest, selfishness, racial and class antagonism, labour troubles and religious bigotry and intolerance among individuals, classes and nations, may be so transmuted, or at least turned aside, that it will not find expression in a new series of armed conflicts and bloodshed.

Work to inculcate the constructive principles of the Law of Life.

The uniting of thousands of hearts and minds to this definite end should generate a great current of dynamic spiritual force sweeping continuously around the world and help in opening wide the everlasting doors and preparing for the quick coming of the King of Glory, not only into your own heart and life but into the lives of nations and humanity as a whole.

Repeat morning, noon and night—or oftener—but at least once each day, the following prayer to your divine indweller, with a deep heartfelt realisation of its significance and a scientific understanding of its dynamic psychological power to awaken and stimulate into action every germ of good in your heart.

It is noon somewhere every minute of the day, which—like a refreshing breeze—should cool the heat of conflicting interests and blow off the karmic dust of the past, which is settling upon and blinding you to the Law of Life.

See the radiance, which this prayer invokes, dispelling the clouds of inharmony, as the Sun dispels the fog, and stimulating the growth of the good in your heart, as the Sun stimulates the growth of the sprout when the fog has been dispelled and the Sun can carry on its constructive work.

PRAYER TO THE DIVINE INDWELLER

Come, O Lord of Life and Love and Beauty!

Thou who art myself and yet art God!

And dwell in this body of flesh,

Radiating all the beauty and holiness and perfection,

That the flesh may out-picture all that Thou art within!

Even so come, O Lord.

Amen
