The Secret Place: A Meditation
Henry Thomas HamblinThere is a deep inner truth which is sometimes hinted at, but is never clearly and plainly expressed in words. It is a truth that is too deep for words or finite definitions. It has sometimes been spoken of as‘achievement without effort.'The secret was known to Lao Tsze, and today it is engaging some of our greatest minds. They will never solve it through the intellect, but theymay do so through intuition. Intuition belongs to the same order as thissocialised ‘achievement without effort.'
The inner, Divine Order 
There is an inner Divine Order which is the Reality and is alwayspresent. Everything that is not Reality has to disappear in the face of Reality. As soon as we leave off striving and resisting, becomingsufficiently quiet and receptive, the Divine Order appears. It is theReality and must appear as soon as we become quiet enough. ‘Inquietness... shall be your strength.' ‘Be still and know that I am God.'There is an inner realm of quietness to which, when we are sufficientlyadvanced, we may penetrate. The one who wrote or dictated the 91stPsalm knew all about it.
But this inner secret place of calm is not only a place of safety, it also causes things to come to pass
, in what we maytruthfully call a miraculous manner. By miraculous we meantranscending ordinary physical and natural law.
To enter is simple
All that we have to do is just to become quite still and know God. Wehave not to do anything else. All that is necessary is to let go socompletely that our mind becomes as placid as a motionless lake. Justas when a lake is quite still it reflects perfectly the surrounding beautyof hill and sky, so also does our mind when perfectly calm, reflect thebeauty, harmony, perfection and order of the Divine. When we becomecompletely still, our mind becomes attuned to the Infinite Mind, after which nothing else matters.
Harmony is there, waiting for us
It does not matter how complicated our troubles may be, nor how manyor difficult our tasks, if we become quiet, as already described, thewhole of our life and work becomes perfectly adjusted. Whatever isdiscordant ‘passes in music out of sight'. Whatever is complicatedbecomes simple. Whatever is obscure becomes plain. Whatever seemsimpossible becomes easy to achieve. No matter how great one'sresponsibilities, life becomes almost as easy as ‘falling off a log'.
Not negative passivity 
It should be pointed out to beginners that the ‘quietness' which isspoken of is not a negative passivity, but is the result of a reaching up to
