539. First think

```

First think of God

And then dine with man.

Do not proceed

In the reverse order.

First think of Compassion

And then meditate on Justice.

Do not proceed

In the reverse order.

First think of your own perfection

And then cherish the idea of God-manifestation.

Do not proceed

In the reverse order. ```
