Comprehend the great gift of love to the One God. Try to unfold the power of insight, That you may perceive the future unity of mankind.

Pure art is the true expression of the radiant spirit. 3. 3.

Be not challenging in your daily life. Be more simple. My friends, let not the personal color your auras. 9. Stand aside, Thou Flaming One! Obstruct not the Gates of Heaven! Souls have been created that are joyous in their consciousness of the spirit. Do not belittle the significance of what you do not comprehend.
Cherish the token given unto you You must await the awakening of a new spiritual consciousness. Many doubts will be dispelled in your future work. Necessary and inevitable do I deem the rise and fall of the spirit. The Voice of Wisdom will open the gates to the Unknown. 10. Love each otherbeware of disunion.
We must pay dearly for our light-mindedness and prattle. 11. Why, O Thou Flaming One, dost Thou avert Thy Face? The sight of Me brings thee pain; thy wings are not yet spread. Harden not your spiritsrealize greatness in the small. Knowledge comes not readily when the spirit is troubled. We bestow upon you the ways.
Do not select books at randomchoose carefully. When amidst the throng, carefully guard the light given unto you. 12. Prayer on the way to the Sacred and Hallowed Dwelling: O Lord of my spirit, forsake not the pilgrim! The Guru hastens not to shelter me from the storm that threatens. The pain will pierce the depths of my heart. And the veil of the whirlwind will hide the light of Thy Face.
Yet with Thee I fear not my ignorance. The phantoms reveal not their faces. Lead me upon the path, O Thou Blessed One. Touch my eyes that I may see Thy Gates! 13. The daughter of the world can change destiny. The New World approachessacrifices are the steps of ascent.
Growth is quickened by trust, if the spirit is open and can receive. Do not consider materializations as important Words of wisdom are the greater. Why desire materializations when wisdom is available to you? Is it possible to prefer the superficial over the spirituality of Truth? My friends! Hasten past the first steps, that, purified, you may ascend to the glory of your nation. And if I offer you allurements of gold, or flowers, or jewelsrefuse. Why choose the allurements of the superficial, when you can have wisdom? 14. Carrying the spear of life, breathe smilingly the life-giving ether of the sun.
Take up your spear at sunrise and guide your steeds of morning towards the searing high noon of life. And the lilies will blossom upon the stones. And at the first ray, throw open your chamber door, And the birds will sing in praise of labor. Learn the Wisdom of the Creator through lifes symbols. Those who fulfil their accepted mission unmask the fact of earthly life, And understand the true meaning of their own path. 15.
Strengthen the awareness of Our Presence in your life. Invoke Our Power for your deeds. Rejoice, you who have understood. Live a full life, rich in experience. Whatsoever your doubts We shall dispel them in lifebut hearken! We shall manifest miracles in your daysbut discern! Let your heart be your judge, and faith your power. Be content with the true Indications whispered to your spirit.
My friends, you chose to take a happy road, leading to Me. You must teach others to search for My Worldthe World of the Knowing Spirit. Persist, and open the Gates to the hearts that seek. I will know when the time has come for the Gates to be opened. 16. Try to study the higher manifestations that are of value to humanity.
The image of mankind is created by the energy of mankind itself. 17. Through the way of teaching will the manifestations of Light come to you. To teach and to love are manifestations of God. 18. Think freely; walk the shortest path.
