Text of the meditation
God does not alter for people, for this would mean that the perfect must become imperfect; people must alter for God. The Children of Truth are in the world today; they are thinking, writing, speaking, acting; indeed, even prophets are among us, and their influence is pervading the whole earth.
An undercurrent of holy joy is gathering force in the world, so that men and women are moved with new aspirations and hopes, and even those who neither see nor hear feel within them strange yearnings after a better and fuller life. The Law reigns, and it reigns in people's hearts and lives; they have come to understand the reign of Law who have sought out the Tabernacle of the true God by the fair pathway of unselfishness.
The Law cannot be broken for anyone, otherwise confusion would ensue; this is in accordance with harmony, order and justice.
