The more fruitful mode of general meditation consists in studying the revealed Truths concerning life and the universe. This mode of understanding and assimilating the Divine Truths can take its start from the hearing or reading of those expositions of the Divine Truths which have their source in the Masters of Wisdom. The discourses of living Perfect Masters or the writings of the Perfect Masters of the past are a suitable object for this mode of general meditation, because the assimilation of the Divine Truths, revealed through them, enables the aspirant to bring his life into line with God's purpose in the universe.

The Divine Truths are most easily grasped and assimilated when they are directly passed on to the aspirant by a living Master. Such personal communications of the Master have in them a power of efficacy which can never belong to the information received by the aspirant through other sources. The word becomes alive and potent because of the life and personality of the Master.
