if one is to go on to greater power and prosperity.
It may seem to be selfishness that gives people prosperity, but the path of such prosperity is crossed and recrossed with decay and death, and only the spiritually ignorant will walk that path. What are millions to you if they cannot save your life, or heal you of blindness, or bring you love? Many are dying or going into insane asylums or leading lives of sorrow whom the world envies because of their wealth.
The riches that come through Truth are permanent and are accompanied by all the joys of heaven, because they are not confined to property and affairs but are universal and express themselves through every department of our being.
THIRD MEDITATION
RICHES THE GIFT OF GOD
The laws of spiritual prosperity are the very reverse of the laws of worldly prosperity. In the divine economy you do not gain by saving up for a rainy day; you do not lose by spending; the more you give away the more you have. You do not “earn” divine riches; therefore you do not have to work hard for them either mentally or physically.
It belongs to your creative consciousness to love to work, and by fearlessness as regards supply and support you can gravitate to your congenial work,
