contradicting each other, else one of them would not be the whole truth. All good can be gathered under one name, God, who is all that is good and the good of all. The one God of us all is the one good of us all, to which men have given an infinite variety of names, such as Intelligence, Prosperity, Right, Freedom, besides deific names, such as Brahm, Jupiter, and Jehovah. “That which exists is one: sages call it variously.”
—Rigveda. “There shall be one Lord, and his name one.”
—Zech. 14:9.
Spiritual Mind ever uniting. |
The spiritual Mind is ever uniting. It seeks God in everybody and everything, and makes that the point of oneness with all. It operates by love. “I drew them with bands of love.”
—Hos. II:4. Whenever there is dislike or inharmony, its source can be found in the carnal mind. According to Max Muller this is the way we can know which mind is operating in us: The carnal mind and the spiritual mind are seen to act in this way: the carnal always detects differences while the spiritual notes similarities. The tendency of the human intellect is to differentiate, and this tendency can be checked by not enlarging upon the differences between those manifestations of God which in esse are one, such as Spirit, Soul, and Mind. If we see the identity of these in the Highest we can clearly analyze the appearance of difference to the human mind, and disclose that it is but a matter of the point of view from which these things are seen, or perhaps a difference in the use of terms.
