task of building the
New World.
I say to you: Strengthen your eyes,
that you be not blinded when I raise the hem
of the veil of the Future.
Should confusion arise in you, raise the shield of devotion;
For by it you will be saved.
And repeat My Instructions—I say to you—repeat.
I have said it.
I feel that you can understand.
I am speaking about serious matters.
I can raise My Hand for the chosen ones.
I will hold high a shield.
Denarius, accursed offspring,
obstruct not the path of Light!
Denarius, belittle not a pure manifestation.
Do not fail to see the clouds—
Life is joyful for him who has wings.
My Smile shields you.
429. The victory of loyalty is assured.
Looking afar, you will see the near at hand.
430. I teach you to display Our Triumph
to strangers and to petty hearts.
I hold above you, in purity, a wondrous cross.
431. The Teacher sees in a mirror a picture
of all your movements.
The signs of your fatigue surround you, like smoke.
Yet above your shoulders rays of decisiveness
pierce the cloud of weariness.
Your heads are adorned with rays of silver.
Auras of strangers crowd at your feet like abutments of
a bridge.
The power of courage forces these auras downward
with purple arrows.
The blue flame of the heart pierces the smoke of
weariness.
Labor continues, and the rays reach ever higher.
432. I read your thoughts each day.
The Teacher examines the creativeness
of beloved disciples.
And if fatigue closes not their lips,
Discourse flows like a Himalayan stream.
433. The whirlpool does not engulf pure
thoughts.
Far-reaching compassion stands guard,
But love must be sent.
Fortitude will carry you through,
And the self-sacrificing achievements of the spirit
will be transformed into the fragrance of freesias.
The Wonders of the Teacher will grow.
Within the garden of love grow illuminations of the
spirit.
Tire Me today; burden Me more,
laying on the weight of the world.
Yet will I increase My strength.
Yet will I increase the strength of My daughter,
for she goes into My garden.
Urusvati, dost thou hear? The burden will blossom
with roses,
And the dewy grass will be arrayed with the morning
rainbow.
Therefore, tire Me.
When I go into the garden of beauty, I fear no
burden.
I ponder, I ponder, I ponder.
434. From the fir tree you can learn;
It is the same both in winter and summer.
435. Some will come and say, 'We know.'
You should reply, 'Good! Since you know,
you can go back home.'
Some will come more aggressively and say,
'We know who stands behind you.'
Say to them, 'Good! If you know,
you will not speak thus.'
Some will come to play dice on the steps
of the Temple, and will cast lots about you.
Say to them, 'Pass on, people,
lest lightning strike you here.'
But here comes one who says to you, 'I do not know,
And here I have brought all my possessions with me.
What shall I do with them?'
Say to him, 'Come, cross the threshold. We will find
a place for you at our long table;
if you do not now know, then you will know.'
Therefore, again I say:
Weary Me, lade Me with all the burdens of the world.
I will not tire. I will not succumb to fatigue;
For I do not know what fatigue is—I scorn it.
And I ask you to burden Me,
for in no other way is the garden of beauty reached.
I have spoken.
436. Smile at each belittlement; it is the true sign of a
miracle.
437. Seek light for a manifestation of darkness.
The pure will display understanding of the Shield,
for God is with Us!
Through His eternal manifestations
drops of the Sacred World penetrate.
Consider that the treasure of the drops
and the sparks of consciousness
will connect Heaven and Earth as a new bridge.
Being affirmed by the light of the sparks,
