UPON the battlefield of the human soul two masters are ever contending for the crown of supremacy, for the kingship and dominion of the heart ; the master of self, called also the " Prince of this world," and the master of Truth, called also the Father. The master self is that rebellious one whose weapons are passion, pride, avarice, vanity, self-will, implements of darkness ; the master Truth is that meek and lowly one whose weapons are gentleness, patience, purity, sacrifice, humility, love, instruments of Light.
In every soul the battle is waged, and as a soldier cannot engage at once in two opposing armies, so every heart is enlisted either in the ranks of self or of Truth. There is no half-and-half course.
You cannot perceive the beauty of Truth while you are looking out through the eyes of self . Have a Great & Safe week everyone!
