motive plays a part so predominant in the working out of karma, and why actions are so relatively subordinate in their generative energy; why karma works out on each plane according to its constituents, and yet links the planes together by the continuity of its thread.
When the illuminating concepts of the wisdomreligion shed their flood of light over the world, dispersing its obscurity and revealing the absolute justice which is working under all the apparent incongruities, inequalities and accidents of life, is it any wonder that our hearts should go out in gratitude unspeakable to the Great Ones—blessed be they!-- who hold up the torch of truth in the murky darkness, and free us from the tension that was straining us to breaking point, the helpless agony of witnessing wrongs that seemed irremediable, the hopelessness of justice, the despair of love?
Ye are not bound! the Soul of Things is sweet,
The Heart of Being is celestial rest; Stronger than woe is will: that which was Good
Doth pass to Better-Best.
Such is the Law which moves to righteousness,
Which none at last can turn aside or stay; The heart of it is Love, the end of it
Is Peace and Consummation sweet. Obey.
