Text of the meditation
Perfection, which is knowledge of the Perfect Law, is ready for all who earnestly seek it. Entering that Path, the Path of the Supreme Law, people no longer accuse, no longer doubt, no longer fret and despond, for they now know that God is right, the universal laws are right, the cosmos is right, and that they themselves are wrong, if wrong there is, and that their salvation depends upon themselves, upon their own efforts, upon their personal acceptance of what is good and deliberate rejection of what is evil.
No longer merely hearers, they become doers of the Word, and they acquire knowledge, they receive understanding, they grow in wisdom, and they enter into the glorious life of liberation from the bondage of self. Adopt the life of self-obliteration.
