Meditation

In meditation we are free. We can
consider one side and then the other
without embarrassment. If we change
our opinion because the weight of EVIL
dence has shifted there is no one to
exult over us and make us ashamed.
If we recognize that we have been
mistaken in our assumptions there Is
no one to say, II told you So" We
quietly make the necessary adjust
ments to ever changing reality and 60
on with our business Of thinking. We
are not required to reach any prede-
termined conclusions. We have no
nervous anxiety to catch any particu-
lar train Of thought, as we are travel
ing on our own feet and are willing to
put up wherever the night finds us;
hence it is that, while discussions go
on with great vigor and few are con-
WINGED except of the righteousness of
their own cause, meditation often
brings unexpected results. When we
mediate we sometimes change our
minds. This Is a beneficent achieve
ment, for it renders it unnecessary for
us to spend all our strength in attempt
ing to change the order of the universe
and the whole direction OF human
progress in order to get a sense Of the
fitness Of things.-S. NJ. Crothers in At
lantic Monthly. =:
