RUNNING AWAY FROM LIFE
In the spiritual teaching we are told not to dwell upon our troubles, but instead, to realize the Presence of God where the troubles seem to be. Critics have suggested that this policy is “running away from life.” Is it?
Suppose you found yourself in a house that was on fire; what would you do? You would leave the burning building as rapidly as possible. Would this be running away from life? Would it not rather be seeking life?
Sickness, sin, fear, and limitation—these things are not life—they are partial death; and they are to be overcome by turning toward life, which is divine harmony.
To turn away from evil and realize God instead is to liberate yourself, to help the world, and to glorify God.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth . . . (Isaiah 45:22).
