What is it to be righteous, or to be right?

It is to do all things in accordance with Truth. To be righteous is to think according to Truth. Righteous doing is but the outcome of righteous thinking. Webster says to be righteous is to yield to all their due; to be just, holy, virtuous.

 Can you not see now how all one's heart, all one's soul, and all one's strength really must be given to the Good if we ever wish to be righteous? It is only to the righteous that great blessings are promised.

Golden Rule

 “In order to perfectly live the Golden Rule, one in business, to begin with, would be compelled to buy his merchandise in such a way that he would be dealing with the seller on the basis of the Golden Rule, as well as buying for his customers on the basis of the Golden Rule.

Nash Company in living the Golden Rule has come because there has been enough business knowledge to enable us to live it to just that degree, and whenever we have failed in exercising that very highest and keenest business judgment on a truly ethical basis. It has been because we did not have sufficient insight to understand our obligation measured by the Golden Rule. . . . In other words, perfect and infallible living of the Golden Rule would require infallible mentality and undaunted courage.”

"People say to me, "But I am trying to liberate myself, yet nothing happens. In spite of all my efforts I remain as I am. Why?"
If you have ever asked this question, do not be concerned. It merely means that the seeker is still trying to grasp higher truths with the lower mind. It cannot be done. That is like trying to hear music by reading the printed notes. A new sense is needed, that of _awareness._ The everyday mind can lead to the door of the higher world but it cannot enter. This is of utmost importance to understand; it saves so much frustration. Notice how often the New Testament states that the human mind cannot comprehend cosmic concepts." VH

"The only thing that is wrong with Christianity is that we are not giving it a trial. We are using it as something to talk about, Sunday after Sunday, as something to sing and to pray about, to listen to ministers preach about, and all the time neglecting to go forth and live it in our daily lives.

The law of giving and receiving.
