In every profession weexpect to give years of preparation in hard study before we can hope to at tain any degree of mastery. But in the greatest of all arts we too frequently expect to achieve without struggle. Each life presents its individual problem. Is not the courageous facing of this problem and the persistent effort to find its wisest solution the most important duty that confronts us If for even a short time each day we can turn away from all that is material and troubling, and live above space and time, for that period we will be living in the Kingdom of God. Through meditation, quiet thinking and prayer, we can get self out of the way and leave the channel free for divine life to work through us. Each morning before the machinery of the day is set in motion we should seek a quiet spot and make a conscious readjustment of our personal lives to the high est possible spiritual level. We will find that being thus alone with God brings us to see things from His stand point. It is only by being still that one can ever hope to hear the divine message.
