LEAVES of Morya s garden

find a smile.

But mastery is confirmed by realization

of victory over self.

Conquering self, the victor will rise.

Therefore, sound the trumpet of victory far and wide;

For God is with Us.


438. A miracle rests better on an empty stomach.

Love of the world fits better in a clear brain.

Disdain excessive eating, just as you do quarrels.


439. By a single word have evil empires been created.

Will the Lord's Creation delay

When all the Heavenly Forces have risen?

By decree of the Highest,

Rays penetrate the sphere of the sun.

Waves of the ocean of planets

obscure the currents of the luminaries.

Ominous and beautiful is the time!


440. A new banner requires new people.


441. He who arrives ignorant will be seated

at the table and will be filled with

knowledge.

All is saturated with signs and approaches.

If you wish to commission a passer-by to

carry a message to a neighbor's house,

You say to him, 'Friend, give our friends this message.'

And often afterward you do not even recognize this

messenger.

So, in life too, look at what has been brought to you

without being troubled by the appearance of the

bearer,

Especially when everything around is filled with signs.

Truly, fortunate are you who know the Indications

about what is coming, and the ordained dates.

Therefore, wait and rejoice.


442. To be a fugitive for a long time is not pleasant.

Dearly do we pay for our self-love.


443. Why consider Us as a volcano of passions,

When the freesia is Our favorite flower?

Leave to the enemy the crimson ardor;

More close to Us are the diamonds of the peaks.

Already you see his stratagems.

Ah, how he toils! How can he be convinced

that his building is no more than a prison?

And prisoners are constantly dreaming of escape.

What joy is there in dragging prisoners after oneself?

However, in this argument he is of a different opinion.

The obvious Alberichs have accepted his teaching.


444. Sacrifice is necessary; and the flame of the

offering purifies, like ozone.

Even savages burn their sacrifice, as a crude symbol

of the act of offering.


445. In the Name of Eternal Motion,

In the Name of the One Force,

I repeat!

Just as the roots of the trees gain strength

in the earth,

So does your knowledge gain strength in time.

Therefore, know the dates,

So as not to seize before the appointed time.

That which is seized prematurely and that grasped

belatedly are alike in their results and meaning.


446. Verily, I say: Even crumbs are useful

in the Great Service;

One can collect a bowlful of the common work

from yesterday's loaves—

The gift of My Spiritual Instruction.


Your sole defense is in My Name;

Other defenses are of no avail.

It is better to understand this in time.


I have summoned you to the construction, and I stretch

out My Hand to you, beloved shield-bearers.

I have revealed the pathway.

Let the Guiding and Safeguarding Hand be always

remembered.


447. Go forward courageously.


448. Wisely We will turn everything for the good.


449. I will gather the daughters.

Let them help lay out the garden of beauty.

Let them fill the garden to overflowing with new

blossoms.

I perceive that one can expect a rapid sprouting of

life in the New World.


450. The New World is manifested in the miracle

of a renewal of life.

My Hand is amidst each day's events.

Happiness it is to view the miracles

standing guard like shields.

Sternly do I confirm My Words.


451. He finds the sooner who knows how to conceal.

One can quiet a wave only by a timely pouring out of oil.


452. When a maiden strives evenings and nights

to bring good to the world—

When she dreams about the ineffably beautiful

and lofty—is this remote from life?

If these dreams are beautiful,

will not the response to them also
