The Father Who Seeth in Secret (Matt. 6:4)
We are not to give our alms before men to be seen of them, but to do good for the pure love of good. Here Jesus is teaching the lesson of sincerity. Men will come and men will go, friend and foe alike may fall away, but always the soul shall be thrown back upon itself. The Indwelling Spirit who lives in the secret place of our lives, will ever be with us. And this Father who seeth in secret will reward openly. Here, again, is a suggestion of the Law of Cause and Effect, about which Jesus often spoke.
Our prayers are to be made to god in the secret place of our own being. They are not to be shouted aloud for the ears of men. The soul must enter this secret place, naked and alone. This is how the One returns to the One.
