PUPIL: That would help, would it not?
MASTER: Temporarily it might. But it would in no sense endure. To attempt to bring happiness or freedom into one's life through outward changes only is not wisdom, is not true art. Such is misuse of the divine materials. The change must occur within, and within first! It must first be established in mind, and firmly enthroned there if it is to be other than only temporarily effective. As long as a trend of thought remains the same the result will be the same. The law of life is: To change an effect the cause must be changed first. Cause leads; effects follow! Thought is the cause; conditions are the effects!
PUPIL: Does one's longing for beautiful surroundings, for health and freedom, for a lovely picture in perfect balance, come from the Great Artist who has made all of Nature? Is it He painting His ideal picture for us on the canvas of our individual minds?
MASTER: Yes, God is Mind, Life, Intelligence, Power, Beauty, Love, Harmony, etc. If any of these things are desired by us, and they are, then surely the Creator of them all must have planted that thought-seed in the mind. He must have whispered into that mental ear and that spiritual heart that the truth is yours! God has chosen you as a holy instrument through which to manifest all of His beautiful and wonderful qualities of Life. It is the divine order and will that you should manifest that particular thing, that particular place in Life!
