And under the silent, watchful eye of the Holy One, we all are standing, whether we know it or not. And in that Center, in that Abyss where the Eternal dwells at the base of our being, our programs, our gifts to Him, our offerings of duties performed are again and again revised in their values. Many of the things we are doing seem too important to us. We haven't been able to say no to them, because they seemed so important. But if we are center down, as the old phrase goes, and live in that holy Silence that is dearer than life, and take our life program into the silent places of the heart, with complete openness, ready to do, ready to renounce according to His leading, then many of the things we are doing will lose their vitality for us...
