In Tune with the Infinite; or, Fullness of Peace, Power, and Plenty
Trine, Ralph Waldo
New Thought
In this way one becomes in love and in league with the highest and best
in the universe, and as a consequence, the highest and best in the
universe becomes in love and in league with him. They aid him at every
turn; they seem literally to move all things his way, because forsooth,
he has first moved their way.
THE REALIZATION OF PERFECT PEACE.
This is the Spirit of Infinite Peace, and the moment we come into
harmony with it there comes to us an inflowing tide of peace, for peace
is harmony. A deep interior meaning underlies the great truth, "To be
spiritually minded is life and peace." To recognize the fact that we
are spirit, and to live in this thought, is to be spiritually minded,
and so to be in harmony and peace. Oh, the thousands of men and women
all about us weary with care, troubled and ill at ease, running hither
and thither to find peace, weary in body, soul, and mind; going to
other countries, traveling the world over, coming back, and still not
finding it. Of course they have not found it and they never will find
it in this way, because they are looking for it where it is not. They
are looking for it without when they should look within. Peace is to
be found only within, and unless one find it there he will never find
it at all.
Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul.
We may travel over many different avenues in pursuit of it, we may seek
it through the channels of the bodily appetites and passions, we may
seek it through all the channels of the external, we may chase for it
hither and thither, but it will always be just beyond our grasp,
because we are searching for it where it is not. In the degree,
however, that we order the bodily appetites and passions in accordance
with the promptings of the soul within will the higher forms of
happiness and peace enter our lives; but in the degree that we fail in
doing this will disease, suffering, and discontent enter in.
