"
This also is clearly stated by Paul:
"There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ. For the law of the
spirit of life in Christ made me free from the law of sin and death."
There never is any doubt in the minds of those who have attained cosmic
consciousness, that they are spiritual beings and immortal--free from the
law of karma; neither is there any thought of evil or of condemnation.
They know that men are gods in embryo and that until they have been born
into the cosmic consciousness--the realization of their _reality as
spirit_, they must travail; but this sense-conscious state is not to be
condemned any more than the child is to be condemned because it has not
yet grown to adultship.
The advice of St. Paul himself was simple enough and straight-forward
enough. It was devoid of all subtleties; free from complexity; free from
fear, or haste, or doubt, or strife, while confidently awaiting the
universal attainment of Illumination.
To the question as to what path to follow; what should be done to gain
this great boon, if the law of the ancient Hebrews was not to be followed
in its literal significance, Paul said:
"Whatsoever things are honest; whatsoever things are true; whatsoever
things are just; whatsoever things are pure; whatsoever things are lovely;
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, _THINK ON THESE THINGS_.
