The builders laying the base know not the height
of the future towers.
But the architect already has designed their height.
Some structures grow only in austerity, and with
great difficulty.
Let cowardice depart and let treason build its own nest.
By demolishing these nests with lightning and
blowing away cowardice with a whirlwind
shall We forge the way.
Go and work.
216. Unfathomable is the Calm of the Creator amidst
the manifold turmoil of events.
After a first period of calm there is a second one.
217. Be not disturbed when fatigue overcomes
the body.
The spirit is ever free.
Between battles you are permitted respite.
218. Compare the attitudes of the new ones with
those of the old.
Then you will know why I say, leave the old ones.
Act with the new.
Know to open the Gates of the Path to them, with a
welcoming smile.
219. The darkness of ignorance must be dispelled.
Let pure thoughts accompany My Task.
Be vigilant lest the unknowing ones desecrate My Name.
Know how to find those successors who will value
the meaning of My Task.
220. My Hand initiates the worthy ones.
Learn to judge in accordance with My Teachings.
221. We know the tides of the ocean,
And no drop shall overflow the shores.
222. Complex are the times and dark are the forces,
But Our Ray is ever alight.
The Hand of the Creator adorns the shields of the
chosen ones with manifestations of the spirit.
The enemy's will shall not endure before the Will of
the Creator.
223. Our Shields rust not,
And your path leads always to Us.
Measure all events forty times, in forty ways.
M. safeguards.
224. It is better to have stern knowledge than to be
moved by sentiment.
I teach the truth of life.
You must know before you are able.
You must be able before you can manifests anything.
And you can manifest only what is justified in spirit.
If your boat is sound, you will reach the shore.
Your sail is spread and the rudder is tested.
My Shield will protect you on the field of battle.
Be ready to fight.
By pure thoughts will you conquer.
225. Life's fairy tale will be affirmed.
But hearken to the calling waves.
Amid encounters and letters, seek the sent diamonds of
possibilities.
You must look beyond, into the far distance.
Understand this, My warriors.
226. Each one fulfills his step of ascent and
carries the task assigned to him.
227. I am spinning new threads, I am looking for the
points of contact.
I place upon your heads the fitting crowns.
And in silence I prepare you for battle.
Rejoice, the courageous one chooses the right path.
I can protect the faithful ones.
228. The clamoring of the ignorant ones does not hinder
construction by the new people.
They who know, conquer.
229. Yes, yes, yes, each word of unity is as the seed of
some fair flower.
To cultivate a garden of beauty is permitted to all.
But where are the gardeners who can judge which
seed is best?
We shall teach them to gather the fertile stalks.
We shall pluck out the blighting weeds.
And the ground where God has manifested Himself
We shall adorn with flowers.
But where the flowers of unity are—guard their petals.
Yes, yes, yes!
Night obscures the purest images.
But behold, the Light approaches!
Why test you, if the Temple were not to be erected?
But the plan is in Our Hands
and the foundation is laid.
Let the Name of God be praised.
Not to trifles shall you be witnesses.
Life will be transformed.
I say it!
230. Apply all your efforts.
By your own hands will the power of the future be built.
I will help, I will help, but add your own efforts.
231. Shield and lance! God has blessed the warriors.
All will come. Twilight will end.
