“Freedom from Fear”
The spiritual path is the path of the brave. It is the courage to face any and all change. The devotee fears no suffering but rather receives it as a necessary condition in life and unfoldment. Such freedom knows no boundaries. Free from fear, all is possible.
“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalm 23:4 and 27:1
“We intuitively know that within our innermost self abides the power of Spirit, the power which is so benign and efficacious that it must have its origin in God. When we become consciously aware of the presence of that indwelling power, a new inspiration quickens our hearts and minds. A resplendent dawn of divine revelation awakens us to a realm of spiritual illumination wherein we gain direct perception of the immeasurable power of soul. An inner certainty stimulates our entire being with subjective vigor and strength. An indomitable courage, enlivened with sublime idealism, lifts our vision and aspiration, and we realize that the power of God is within us.”
