The true disciples,
heeding the Word of the Great Teacher, and continuing in all things
to be His pupils, are not only set free from superstitions and
ignorance but also from the service of sin, and receive instead a
correct appreciation of their own natural weaknesses and blemishes,
and of the Divine mind—the Truth. In consequence, their freedom is
one which blesses instead of injuring them; one which brings
humility instead of pride and boastfulness; one which brings
patience instead of anger; one which brings generosity and
benevolence instead of spitefulness and selfishness; one which
brings joy and peace instead of discontent and bitterness of spirit.
Truly, the Son alone can make us free
indeed. |
