than

this, at the changing of races.

It is necessary to thriftily use your forces;

He is a poor chemist who instead of using a drop empties

the bucket.

Yes, the invisible battle was never before so great.

Now the whole earthly orbit has become involved in it.

Regard not lightly the disturbance of the world.

Forces are so tense that a torrent of omens

is pouring onto the planet.

When tomorrow I shall narrate the book about Joy,

do not forget about the battle cries!

BOOK OF JOY

357. Can the tree stand firm?

Yes, yes, yes—

If the roots are deeply buried

and unseen beneath the ground.

I told you of beauty, I told you of love,

I told you of action.

I told you of devotion, I told you of readiness and

compassion.

I have opened the window for you, and shown you

the battle.

I explained the meaning of courage,

And finally I summoned you to the Great Service.

And where is the garment in which to ascend

the steps of the Temple?

Where is the worthy vestment to cover the nakedness

and impurity of our bodies?

Throughout the Universe pulsates the fabric

of Life's Beginning.

Throughout the Universe is found the worthy

Garment.

Joy quivers, and vibrates, and resounds.

In this Garment of Joy you will ascend the steps.

This garment will enfold your body.

They are rending the Raiment of the Lord.

They scoff at its tatters.

But the daughter of the world and the Mother of the

Universe will mend the pieces of this Raiment.

And you will come ready to receive your vestment.

For, wherefore the power and wherefore the sacrifice,

if there be no joy?

And where is compassion,

And where is devotion,

And where is the love of creation,

If your shoulders are not bedecked with the Raiment

of the Mother of the World?

And when you erect the Temple of Beauty,

And on its approaches you lay out My Garden of Joy,

Then name this Garden in My Name,

For I told you:

Children, rejoice!

And while crossing the border between power and sacrifice,

Attired in the radiance of joy,

We shall tell you tomorrow about the prayer.

The Book of Prayer and Podvig will conclude

the first trilogy.

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!

And you will say to them:

'We know the battle,

And therefore joy is within us;

And we know the Service—

Therefore, radiant with joy are our faces.'

I am sending Joy and Benevolence and Truth.

For in this is everything.

358. It is necessary to oppose the destroyers

with the power of creation.

Learn how to summon new ones to the building.

Perform thus your labor for unification.

The Days of Darkness have approached.

I charge you: Guard the shield and display trust,

For I have already shown to you My Sign.

Happiness has come to you; do not deal with it roughly.

And wings are bearing across the world

the happiness of the unfolding of Our Plan.

Discern the manifestations; My Shield is strong.

359. We carry affirmation of the teachings of the

prophets.

With pure steps do We lead, and no one feels regret

at drawing near to the new race.

The first requirement of the race is to carry

the spirit into life.

And the fragments, accumulated through the ages,

will fall into place.

The ray of understanding of the wondrous life

will flash out in its simplicity.

In new flight will the spirit encircle the world.

The time, though difficult, is unprecedented.

Dark clouds surround you, but My Ray is with you.

BOOK OF PRAYER

360. Warrior, is it possible to enter the Holy of Holies

of the Temple with spear and sword?

Friend, I am on the way to achievement—

how can I leave my armor?

Warrior, I shall keep for you your armor

upon the steps of the portal.

Friend, I have come to consecrate all my possessions—

how can I leave them here?
