strive
on the path of ascent.
Those who with a full heart fulfill Our requests will
attune their ears to the harmony of the Universe.
By bringing happiness unto you We show Our Trust
in your striving towards Good.
Truth is with you—be ready to receive it.
As the heavens are fathomless, so great is your strength.
6. Safeguard your solitude.
God—or Aum—is the Highest
Being of your inner self.
My Breath is the daring towards Beauty.
The great gift manifested through your sacrifice will lead you
to joyous realization in your pursuit of Truth.
Eschew the life of the slumberer.
Love the life that sparkles in thoughts
enveloped in the Divine Radiance.
Strengthen the growing power of your spirit.
Ever remember the Gates revealed by Us.
The pure Breath of Our Bliss imparts living sustenance
to you in your daily life.
May the dance of wrath succumb before the power of
the Temple!
The fire of fearlessness will brighten your hearth.
We send the light to those who smile at darkness.
Your spirit is already in ascent, and the flaming heart
will not be blighted by cold.
The Right Hand of God asserts Itself and
proclaims the Dawn of Day.
7. Why walk the way of silence?
In life imbibe the source of sound and color, and
thus strengthen your mind.
8. 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 other—beware 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 spirits—realize greatness in the small.
Knowledge comes not readily when the spirit is
troubled.
We bestow upon you the ways.
Do not select books at random—choose 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 approaches—sacrifices 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 jewels—refuse.
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,
