A New Thought a Day - Day Nine

Posted on May 9, 2007

Today’s Thought: Personal antipathies, however natural they may be to the animal man, can have no place in the divine life.

Whist a man is engaged in resisting evil, he is not only not practicing the good, he is actually involved in the like passion and prejudice which he condemns in another; and as a direct result of his attitude of mind, he himself is resisted by others as evil. Resist a man, a party, a religion, a government, as evil, and you yourself will be resisted as evil.

He who considers it as a great evil that he should be persecuted and condemned, let him cease to persecute and condemn. Let him turn away from all that he has hitherto regarded as evil, and begin to look for the good. So deep and far-reaching is this precept that the practice of it will fake a man far up the heights of spiritual knowledge and attainment.
He who will keep the precepts of Jesus will conquer himself, and will become divinely illuminated.
