But there is no "short cut"; nor yet a long road.
Some one has said there are as many ways to God as there are souls. And
yet, all persons who are on the upward climb, are demonstrating some one of
these four paths, or a combination of the paths. It is, however, a
significant fact that we do not hear anything of the great intellectual
attainments of the three great masters--Krishna, Buddha and Jesus, but only
of their great compassion; their wonderful love for mankind, and all living
things.
St. Paul, who was probably an educated man, as he held a position of
prominence among those in authority, previous to his conversion, laid
particular stress upon the love-nature as the way of illumination.
And Jesus repeatedly said "Love is the fulfilling of the law." What is the
law? The law of evolution and involution; of generation and regeneration;
when the time should come, that Love was to reign on the planet earth as it
does in the heavens above the earth, then should the kingdom of which he
foretold "be at hand," and in conclusion of this _to-be_, Jesus promised
that the law would be fulfilled when Love should come.
