Thus the whole wide world, above, below, around, and everywhere, did he continue to pervade with heart of Love.

Excerpt

And he let his mind pervade one quarter of the world with thoughts of Love; and so the second quarter, and so the third, and so the fourth. And thus the whole wide world, above, below, around, and everywhere, did he continue to pervade with heart of Love, far-reaching, grown great, and beyond measure, free from the least trace of anger or ill-will.

✨ To meditate on today

Today, take five minutes to send in thought a wish of kindness in front of you, to the right, behind, to the left, then everywhere, including a person with whom you are on cool terms.
