At the depth of our being everything is perfectly still.
We may realize many varying stages of conditions of stillness.
When we approach the sublime heights of stillness, however,
we find more than merely peace and rest;
we also find light and power.
The mind of the greatest wisdom is the mind that is forever still -
the mind that is so completely in the light of the spirit
that no effort is required to think or know.
Such a mind is illumined with the light that is all of the The Light -
the light that does not shine forth through action,
but that abides in the perfect calm -
in the luminous states of unending repose.
The mind of the greatest power is the mind
that can remain for all time in that wonderful realm
where silence is absolute and real.
To be alive and at the same time to be still -
absolutely still in thought, feeling and consciousness -
that is the secret of power.
And the longer the mind can continue in absolute stillness,
while being fully and tremendously alive,
the greater becomes the power,
until the soul becomes a spiritual giant.
