sail the
Ocean of Creative Labor.
And the wings of the bird of the spirit, atremble, will soar
upon the breeze of harmony.
And the steel of the word flashes in the furnace of
Truth.
182. Those who are wise are also fearless.
A miracle comes unforeseen.
Everything new has its significance.
Often a grain can be more important than a mountain.
183. You must use your imagination.
For the imagination opens windows that reveal new vistas.
Who desires—receives.
All things have their significance.
184. A miracle is wrought amidst striving to the
future life.
185. Think not of food.
He who fasts, but in his heart covets food, is of little merit.
Not with hay do you prepare yourselves for salvation,
But through the growth of your spirit shall you achieve.
186. Fret not—it is better to rejoice at each grain of
creation of the spirit.
Creation has its place, even among the dark ones.
Look through a microscope and life will reveal myriads
of wonderful forms.
In darkness the eye masters better the spiritual sight.
187. It is wise not to worry but to strive joyfully.
You must think, for thoughts create deeds.
188. Discern in the new happenings the battle that
was foretold.
You already know how strained is everything.
We offer happiness—woe to those who reject it.
189. Count the actions of vehement enemies
as preferable to those of lukewarm friends.
Knowledge devoid of love is dead, but the radiance
of the rainbow comprises all fires.
190. The full spectrum of light is sometimes
unpleasant to the human eye because of its
high vibrations.
191. The details of the path vary according to the
karmas and auras of those whom you encounter.
192. A bird ruffles its feathers in the cold, but the warm sun
will spread its wings.
193. The character of the people will be illumined
by the beauty of spirit.
Weep not where tears are useless; arrows are needed
to transfix the dark spirit.
194. You have sacrificed much for Our Task.
Let others now fearlessly face the scoffers in the
Name of the Lord.
Rest before the new assault.
The last Gates are near.
It is not a peaceful Teaching that I pronounce.
In battle remember My Shield.
195. Each new day brings new possibilities.
A bird, before its flight, cannot foresee how it will
traverse the ocean.
196. If all impulsive desires were satisfied,
the Universe would be destroyed.
Fear not moods; like leaves they will be blown away.
The pure spring bursting from beneath the snow will quench
your thirst.
197. You grow weary of waiting, but try to
comprehend how disheartening it is to see the
structure still lacking a roof.
The human spirit resists the good.
I want to help you, and will enter the battle.
198. The impatience of the passengers cannot hasten
the train.
New circumstances require new flights.
Rush not—all things will come.
199. A miracle is wrought—you perform services
important for the manifestation of future life.
The difficulties of the task are akin to those of
polishing a diamond.
A hostile will must be diverted to the good just as a
stream is directed to the mill.
But how many dams must the miller build before he
can control the current!
A hand must possess strength, and an eye vision,
to perceive new possibilities.
The most worthy labor is that performed with one's
own hands.
By labor do you unlock the Gates to the Land of your
striving.
Everything is possible, but remember that what has
been promised will be manifested at the appointed time.
Who aspires will attain.
Learn through the manifestations of life.
We send you images of persons and events;
And both reveal to you the determined plan
of a wondrous evolution of the human race.
I bring a talisman to all:
