Text of the meditation
Perfect Love is Perfect Power. The wisely loving heart commands without exercising any authority. All things and all people obey the one who obeys the Highest. They think, and see: they have already accomplished! They speak, and behold: a world hangs upon their simple utterances!
They have harmonised their thoughts with the Imperishable and Unconquerable Forces, and for them weakness and uncertainty are no more. Their every thought is a purpose; their every act an accomplishment; they move with the Great Law, not setting their puny personal will against it, and so they become a channel through which the Divine Power can flow in unimpeded and beneficent expression.
They have thus become Power itself. Perfect Love is Perfect Wisdom.
