LEAVES of Morya s garden

will ask, 'How amidst the stress of life,

can one remember the Treasure of the World?'

I shall smile and say that it is simple—

Select at the seashore a pebble smoothed by the waves

and carry it with you, remembering the Treasure

of the World.

And when they press around you

and cover your garments with dust,

Then take in your hand the chosen stone,

And remind yourself of the Treasure of the World

which I commanded you to take to its destination.

Remember, remember, remember.

I said it.

367. Shepherds have received the revelations,

While emperors have searched for them.

Dogmatic scholars have resisted them.

Leaders have been fearful of them.

The Voice of God overshadows all

when there is spiritual readiness.

368. The pulse reveals the synthesis of vibrations.

Each organism, up to and including the Universe,

has its own pulse.

The human pulse is strong enough to bring a sensitive

apparatus into action.

The pulse of atoms creates an energy whose formula

can easily be told,

But, it is still forbidden to state it because it will lead only to

destruction.

I speak about dust because it penetrates deeply

and serves as a glove for the hand of the enemy.

Thus do people leave behind their grey gloves, still warm,

for use by the dark visitor.

369. The clamor of earthly life is harmful for the growth

of the spirit.

But you must proceed through the Gates of Patience,

And you will enter through the

Gates of Service.

And chiefly, remember the Lotus of Trust

both day and night.

370. Read, and consider how many times even Christ

withdrew into solitude.

Even His Spirit had need of prana.

Observe—the manifestations of each day are full

of deep meaning.

371. Hearken!

For I wish you to approach Me joyous and radiant

in the time of the Great Darkness.

It is true—

I have confided much to you,

I have given you dates and warnings,

I have granted you the possibility of victory,

And I have revealed to you

the secrets of Our Decisions.

You can conquer and attain enlightenment,

But give to Me your offering.

If you are afraid,

Give Me your fear.

If you are in doubt,

Give Me your doubt.

If you are angry,

Give Me your anger.

And if you give Me a handful of trivial objects,

I will also accept these dusty playthings

and recast them in My Tower.

True, if you wish again to make use of your gift in

your life,

Do not forget how unworthy is he who takes back

what he has once given.

Thus, I have accepted your fear and your doubt

and your anger—this is for Me.

And for you I give the path to the Light.

For I wish you to approach Me joyous and radiant

in the time of the Great Darkness—

before the New Dawn.

372. I know you who scratch at the door.

You hope upon the shoulders of a guest to enter

My House.

I know you!

You have become subtle and resourceful,

Even more resourceful than many of Mine.

You have fastened your clasps and prepared your

garments.

You have even studied all My expressions.

I hear you pronounce even Joy.

But here I shall stop you.

You do not dare pronounce the joy of Love.

Your joy is the joy of hatred.

But behind hatred hovers the loathsome shadow

of doubt.

And doubt is not fit as a shield.

I will receive your arrows in My Shield.

And if you persist,

I will, with a smile, send you one—but one—in return.

373. The sufferings of the body reveal truths to you.

The horseman may spur his steed,

But wings would carry him more speedily.

374. Why has the earth been laid waste?

Why has the temple been overthrown?

The father's wrath will pass.

The morning bird is ready to sing out the dates.

The prophecy of days is being fulfilled.

And filled to the brim are the chalices of the

Archangels.
