Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to
heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Every saint has climbed it; every sinner must
sooner or later come to it, and every weary pilgrim that turns his back upon self and the world,
and sets his face resolutely toward the Father's Home, must plant his feet upon its golden rounds.
Without its aid you cannot grow into the divine state, the divine likeness, the divine peace, and
the fadeless glories and unpolluting joys of Truth will remain hidden from you.
Meditation is the intense dwelling, in thought, upon an idea or theme, with the object of
thoroughly comprehending it, and whatsoever you constantly meditate upon you will not only
come to understand, but will grow more and more into its likeness, for it will become
incorporated into your very being, will become, in fact, your very self. If, therefore, you
constantly dwell upon that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and
debased; if you ceaselessly think upon that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become
pure and unselfish.
