Maintaining Fruitful Good Works

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner gospel, 'ours' denotes your own circle and the state you inhabit. The verse does not demand more labor; it invites you to cultivate the stable awareness that you are already the I AM, the source of every useful act. When you maintain good works for necessary uses, you align with the natural outflow of grace. Unfruitfulness arises whenever you perform deeds from fear or as signs to others, rather than from the steady consciousness that you already possess all supply. See your neighbor's needs as echoes of your own inner needs, and revise any lack into abundance by imagining, feeling, and dwelling in the truth that you are the manifestation of the divine I AM in action. Your acts become fruitful not by shouting them, but by being rooted in an inner conviction that all true service arises from the eternal awareness within.
