The song of concord is joyous. To live is good. TO live vividly is better. TO live vividly together is best. Concord with all life, harmony with the universe, is the orchestration for love between individuals. Love between individuals is the bond of an inner sense of collective happiness. Love is not being self-centered, but being other-centered.
... Love has the eyes of a mother. ... Love hails vastness. ... Love enhances peace. ... Love gives rise to self-respect.
Concord comes from the word "cardia", meaning heart, so it means our hearts are together.
Now we will meditate.... In meditation we are alone, yet in consonance with the cosmos.
In meditation we experience the bliss of this harmony, this concord. Thoughts
1. Our song of concord is one of attullement to mankind the planet and the universe. 2. To recognize our true nature, we must realize that we encompass all qualities. From that promise learn to select and demonstrate only those qualities which will lead to harmony on the planet. 3. Our song of concord is a song of service and action of confidence and collaboration; our concord must include the opposition.
