5 And Jesus said, The Silence is not circumscribed; is not a place closed in with wall, or rocky steeps, nor guarded by the sword of man.
6 Men carry with them all the time the secret place where they may meet their God.
7 It matters not where men abide, on mountain top, in deepest vale, in marts of trade, or in the quiet home; they may at once, at any time, fling wide the door, and find the Silence, find the house of God; it is within the soul.
8 One may not be so much disturbed by noise of business, and the words and thoughts of men if he goes all alone into the valley or the mountain pass.
9 And when life’s heavy load is pressing hard, it is far better to go out and seek a quiet place to pray and meditate.
10 The Silence is the kingdom of the soul which is not seen by human eyes.
11 When in the Silence, phantom forms may flit before the mind; but they are all subservient to the will; the master soul may speak and they are gone.
12 If you would find this Silence of the soul you must yourself prepare the way. None but the pure in heart may enter here.
13 And you must lay aside all tenseness of the mind, all business cares, all fears, all doubts and troubled thoughts.
14 Your human will must be absorbed by the divine; then you will come into a consciousness of holiness.
