I : INTUITION

 

Intuition outwits the normal understanding of the senses. It is perceiving

faculty of the soul. It is a knowing power going beyond senses and mind. It

is not anti rational but supra rational. It can bring in the knowledge of

truth. It is not depend upon outside data. It differentiates between true

and false reasoning. It is the sixth sense. It tunes the mental ratio with a

harmony in its vibrations. It makes you firm in the knowledge of the Self.

Through the intuition of the Infinite, the seemingly impossible realisation

of the Self is accomplished.

 

II: SELF-DISCIPLINE

Self-discipline is no negative practice, no reluctant, self-denial, no

display of surface endurance, and no degenerate dull and dumb routine. It

is the willing cooperation with higher nature. It carries you forward on a

lofty level. It has be written into every part of your Being. It creates

and cultivates a nobler bearing, a nobler impulse, a rhythm in your

activity, a greater stability in your practice, a wholesome mingling of

recreation and work, service and rest, and on the whole a softening and

elevating influence of spirit.

 

III: Do’s and Don’ts

In thousands of ways mistakes are made. But there is only one way to do a

thing aright. “Don’t method” demands a multitude of don’ts to direct one “do

right” whereas a single set of positive instructions is sufficient to govern

a man’s life and conduct. By too much of “don’t laws” there results

confusion, clouding the vision as to what to do. They are negatively stated

laws made to punish mistakes. By living under the negative code, man chooses

the hard way to govern himself; the way of thou-shalt-not rather than

thou-shalt. The former method is partial. The latter method is of the law

that accents righteousness. It is the law of love, the greatest of all laws

and the fulfillment of all law. It brings lasting peace and harmony into the

world. It is not being merely non-resistant but of positive action of

radiating love. In its irresistible and masterful power and practice can be

lived, and true security established for all men. One DO is better than a

thousand a thousand DONTS.
