Companions of the Way (Morning)His Secret is with the righteous.
IN speaking of divine perfection, we mean to say that God is just and true and loving, the Author of order and not of disorder, of good and not of evil. Or rather, that He is justice, that He is truth, that He is love, that He is order; . . . and that wherever these qualities are present, whether in the human soul or in the order of nature, there is God. We might still see Him everywhere if we had not been mistakenly seeking Him apart from us, instead of in us; away from the laws of nature, instead of in them. And we become united to Him not by mystical absorption, but by partaking, whether consciously or unconsciously, of that truth and justice and love which He Himself is.
