Let us look at masterliness. Masterliness in anything is the fruit of love. The Soul alone can give out love. The body can render a perfect technical reproduction but if the love nature of God is not in it, it is not art, for the art of anything is not in the skill of rendering a visible or audible thing but in the beauty and love which only the stillness of the Light of your Soul can give to it. And therein lies the difference between the genius of the master and Soulless mediocrity.
That is why your constant communion with God is necessary for every moment of life and every stage of your creation. God must sit with you on your piano stool, at your canvas and brush or at your work-bench. Your hands must be His hands. Your thinking must be His thinking. Love must be interwoven in every stitch of whatever pattern you are weaving, every word you are writing, and every interchange between yourself and your fellowmen. So, you get angry when someone abuses another? So? Do you not think God also gets angry at the abuse of one of you to another? I do not speak of pious pretense–I speak of the presence of God in that which you do. If you must do something in the dark or do not wish your actions seen–then you must check WHY? God is there at any rate–but YOU are hiding.
Look at those things which you do–to fill your time–be it love to Poker; work to fishing. Why do you insist upon doing those things? Because you have nothing better with which to interest self. When your interest is in the things of God, then you will gradually lose the desire for the performance of other distractions. That does NOT mean that you run down and preach on every street corner and make a fool of yourself and cause the worthiness of God to appear even more foolish. You treat God’s business with at least the same reverence and respect as you would the most important work on Earth–be it banking or brokering, building or cleaning.
Love is rhythmically repeated in its givings and regivings to synchronize with the givings of your outward breath to the heavens and their regivings to you. Balanced rhythmic interchange between your heartbeat pulsings and all other electric extensions from the stillness of your Soul is LAW–the basic fundamental LAW of all creating things in all this dynamic universe. Your own masterpiece is the measure of how divinely you have conceived it and how worthily you have rendered it in balance with Universal Law. In the measure that you can extend the beauty of your imagined rhythms to material bodies, built in the images of your spiritual conceptions, those rhythms will be the measure of your ability to create masterpieces. The very measure of the quality of your material interpretation lies in your ability to translate imagined forms and rhythms of the universal heartbeat into bodily forms and rhythms which can reinspire others with the ecstasy of your inspiration.
When you inspire others, you are manifesting the love nature of God and the fulfillment of His law by giving love. Those whom you reinspire are, likewise, manifesting the nature of God and fulfilling His law by regiving love. You cannot reinspire others, however, if you leave God out of your technical rendition. That is why meditation is necessarily continuous. That is why great masters never go into their concert hall, or to their easels or work benches, without an interval of time to forget materiality. They first seek the zero of the still Light which centers their consciousness before extending their thought-images out from that stillness into the three- dimensional universe of moving electric waves, which Creation is. Not only every day should be started by seeking that zero of stillness, but every moment from the beginning of anything to its fulfillment. Never start your day’s work by yourself alone. Be sure that you feel God’s Presence within you. If some disturbing telephone call or other distraction severs your inner-Self from the Universal Self, open your door and let your sensed-self out and let God in; otherwise your work will not be masterful. …
…You cannot do anything of yourself alone. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have to acquire God-power even to lift your finger. Your are automatically controlled in your every action. Why not be controlled by working KNOWINGLY with God at all times, and being fully aware that God and His law are working with you. Continuous meditation means continuous God-awareness, not sitting cross-legged in a lotus position. That continuity of awareness is forever leading you higher and higher into the high heavens of your own mountain top and insulating your body from physical ills. That, and that alone, is the great glory of life and of living. That awareness, and that alone, leads you to masterliness of achievement, peace, prosperity, happiness and the love of all mankind which is forever enduring. That is the only thing worthy of the striving.
