SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
A symbol of the Higher Self, the centre of
perfection and fount of truth.
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise
with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as
calves of the stall.” — MAL. iv.2.
To the disciplined qualities which yearn for perfection, the Higher
Self (sun) shall arise within to impart truth and transmute their
nature. They shall then go forth on higher planes, and develop in
harmony and peace the higher emotions.
“The visible world is a book in which, if our spiritual eyes are
open, we can read the nature of the invisible; in the soul of man we
can discern the lineaments of God. … Metaphors and illustrations of
spiritual ideas are only possible because of this undoubted
correspondence between the two planes of being (higher and lower)
with which we have to do. Take such a beautiful figure of speech as
the following: ‘Unto you that fear my name, saith the Lord, shall
the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings.’ Here the
sun of our visible universe is used as an image of God’s purifying
action on the life of the soul; the righteousness of God is spoken
of as rising like the sun upon human experience, bringing healing
exactly as the rays of our earthly sun dissipate darkness and war
against disease. … Everything in the universe that has power to
awaken in us feelings of delight and elevation of soul is really a
spiritual symbol, directly connected with that which it symbolises,
a word of God. … The universe is a spiritual whole, a system within
a system, a work revealing a work; it all means, for those who have
eyes to read; it tells of what is hidden.” — R. J. CAMPBELL, *Serm.,
Spiritual Correspondences*.
