Turn away from the sin and go forward courageously, constructively, creatively, in well doing. TURN AWAY FROM THE SIN AND GO FORWARD COURAGEOUSLY CONSTRUCTIVELY CREATIVELY IN WELL DOING
al, who has drifted into stealing in childhood, before the moral consciousness has awakened. We may imprison such a thief, and deprive him of all possibility of further theft, or of using the divine gift of will. Or we may recognize his disadvantages, and help him gradually to build up possessions which express his will, and draw forth his self-respect. If we imagine that, after he has built well, and his possessions have become dear to him, he himself is robbed, then we can see how he would come vividly to realize the essence of theft and of honesty, and would cleave to honest dealings with firm conviction. In some such way does the great Law teach us. Our sorrows and losses teach us the pain of the sorrow and loss we inflict on others, and so we cease to inflict them. Now as to the more direct application. To conquer a sin, let heart and mind rest, not on the sin, but on the contrary virtue. Let the sin be forced out by positive growth in the true direction, not by direct opposition.  THIEF AN HABITUAL CRIMINAL WHO HAS DRIFTED INTO STEALING IN CHILDHOOD BEFORE THE MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS HAS AWAKENED WE MAY IMPRISON SUCH A THIEF AND DEPRIVE HIM OF ALL POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER THEFT OR OF USING THE DIVINE GIFT OF WILL OR WE MAY RECOGNISE HIS DISADVANTAGES AND HELP HIM GRADUALLY TO BUILD UP POSSESSIONS WHICH EXPRESS HIS WILL AND DRAW FORTH HIS SELF RESPECT IF WE IMAGINE THAT AFTER HE HAS BUILT WELL AND HIS POSSESSIONS HAVE BECOME DEAR TO HIM HE HIMSELF IS ROBBED THEN WE CAN SEE HOW HE WOULD COME VIVIDLY TO REALIZE THE ESSENCE OF THEFT AND OF HONESTY AND WOULD CLEAVE TO HONEST DEALINGS WITH FIRM CONVICTION IN SOME SUCH WAY DOES THE GREAT LAW TEACH US OUR SORROWS AND LOSSES TEACH US THE PAIN OF THE SORROW AND LOSS WE INFLICT ON OTHERS AND SO WE CEASE TO INFLICT THEM NOW AS TO THE MORE DIRECT APPLICATION TO CONQUER A SIN LET HEART AND MIND REST NOT ON THE SIN BUT ON THE CONTRARY VIRTUE LET THE SIN BE FORCED OUT BY POSITIVE GROWTH IN THE TRUE DIRECTION NOT BY DIRECT OPPOSITION
