The
Law That Protects Our Sky
Carlos
Cardoso Aveline
Devotion is a
transcendent form of love. Love is the name adopted by truth when it flows on
the plane of feelings. Truth, on its turn, is the name of love as it works on
the level of thoughts.
Truth and Love are therefore two names for the same
process.
Theosophists often feel a religious devotion for
truth. This means that they experience the integration, in themselves, of
truthful thought and brotherly feeling. The fact enables them to understand the
processes of both personal and cosmic life.
Truth-Love, also known by the name of Universal Law,
moves and guides our little planet.
Good will, devotion and brotherhood bind the earth and
the heaven together.
The compassion we may feel for smaller beings expands
the devotion we have for those beings who are wiser than us.
Everything in the universe can be understood, for
everything is essentially true and
results from universal love.
The Love that is Truth, or Law, surrounds and protects
our sky and every star. It moves the clusters of galaxies. It gives life to
every cell in our physical body and helps them all breathe. It makes the wind
move the leaves of trees. It regulates the waves of the seas so that they
arrive in a certain rhythm on the beaches of the continents.
