LEAVES of Morya s garden

Name of the Lord!

People will rise up by the spirit.

The essence of the miracle is simple:

Love is the miracle, Beauty is the miracle.

375. When clouds overcast the sky

and lightning flashes,

Is it not better to remain within the walls of the house?

Though rain penetrate the shutter,

Still there will be no danger.

If you would know—you will learn it from the

experience of action, and the experience of silence.

When I say act, exhaust all the resources of action.

When I say silence, seek all the means of silence.

But if the experience of action is lengthy,

the experience of silence is brief.

Therefore act through silence.

But if you desire to display the force of action,

Gather the children—those of the future.

And in action with children you will not be ensnared

in the prepared traps.

Short is the time and you know the dates.

I said it.

376. The best remedy, the best weapon,

is your understanding of Our Care.

Affirmed in union with Us, you will proceed

invincibly.

Displaying the example of achievement,

you will grow to the stature of giants.

Some are terrified by destruction, some rejoice in it.

But for you each fallen wall provides a new pathway to

Light.

377. I will show My Shield to those who are on the way.

I will show it to those who strike down each manifestation

of selfishness.

I will show it to those who keep appointed dates.

I will show it to those who sense the path of Service.

I will show it to those who cover their tents

with My Name.

I will show it to those who bear high their shields.

I have revealed to you My Will—do not transgress it.

I lead you; turn not away nor rend the web of

podvig.

378. You should gaze only into the future.

And so it is necessary to turn to the children.

Only in them is the lawful beginning of the work.

Revealing the new path, only in children

will you find the power of trust.

379. The heart of the dawn proceeds, amid stings.

Reflect, reason, spread the web of thought.

Hearken to the unceasing Command.

No miracle can be undone,

Nor can the summoned ones be expelled from their

new home.

And thou who knowest the course of the Luminaries,

give way!

For I know thee, sower of confusion of thought.

I say to thee—away with thy arrogance!

380. It is often better to defer a decision until

morning.

The morning is permeated with prana.

After sundown it is harmful to remain tense.

Evening is the time to give.

Morning is the time to receive knowledge.

381. Who has said that one must give away foolishly?

Foolishness remains foolishness.

One thinks—already have I given.

Another thinks—I gave, and thus have come nearer.

A third thinks—I gave, and thus merit much.

But all their gifts are in the stormy depths.

We cannot offer the possessions of another.

We cannot give away what we have been given

for safe-keeping.

If one entrust unto a friend

to safeguard one's property,

And returning, one ask for it again,

what shall the friend feel?

Only joy that he could return what he has guarded.

Therefore, rejoice and pray:

O Lord, Thou gavest me Thy Bliss

to safeguard.

Thou hast taught me how to guard It.

And now teach me how to return

that which I have guarded at Thy Call, O Lord.

Rejoice—I am guarding.

382. Like elephants crossing the forest, crushing the

bushes and sweeping aside the trees,

So walk in the Great Service.

Therefore, know how to battle.

Many are called to the Knowledge,

But to few are opened the secrets of Our Decisions.

Therefore, know how to battle.

You will see how My Shield is defamed.

You will know how My Treasures are counterfeited.

Then shall you raise your sword.

Therefore, know how to battle.

Chiefly, beware of treason and light-mindedness—
