Text of the meditation
Whoever has found the indwelling Reality of their own being has found the original and universal Reality. Knowing the Divine Heart within, one knows all hearts, and the thoughts of all people become theirs once they have become master of their own thoughts. That is why the good person does not defend themselves, but moulds the minds of others to their own likeness.
As the problematical transcends crudity, so Pure Goodness transcends the problematical. All problems vanish when Pure Goodness is reached, and so the Good person is called "The Slayer of illusions." What problem can vex where sin is not? You who strive loudly and do not rest, retire into the holy silence of your own being, and live from there.
So, finding Pure Goodness, you will tear in two the Veil of the Temple of Illusion, and enter into the Patience, Peace and transcendent Glory of the Perfect, for Pure Goodness and Original Simplicity are one. Original Simplicity is so extremely simple that a person must let go of everything before they can perceive it.
