We read in the holy scriptures that God commanded the children of Israel to build Him a sanctuary - a dwelling place for Him to rest, and let that place be separated from all the other dwellings. It should be equipped with the Holy of Holies, and from this sanctum sanctorum God will speak to the representatives of the people. |

emotions, enter into silence, commune with
the divine in you, invoke its help and its guidance, and you will soon
discover that the response is sure to follow. Your mind will
regain its calmness. Your heart will regain its ease, your entire
form will resume its poise. For the power within is the very
embodiment of calmness, and it will give you of itself and assume
control over your whole being. Likewise, when confronted by intense temptations, temptations which cause a struggle between the finer and the ruder elements of the self, when purity and corruption grapple for victory and supremacy, then enter into silence and seek for help from the divine fountain within, and that power within will not fail you, for its very essence is purity. Thus we have within ourselves the sanctuary of the divine wherein calmness, clearness and purity dwell. We must only seek for it, and find it and identify ourselves with it. |
