509. Where then is that sentiment, that substance with which we can fill the Chalice of the Great
Service? Let us gather this feeling from the best treasures. We shall find its components in
religious ecstasy, when the heart quivers at the Highest Light. We shall find its components in the
feeling of heart-felt love, when the tear of self-renunciation glistens. We shall discern it in the
hero's achievement when power is multiplied in the name of humanity. We shall find it in the
patience of the gardener when he ponders over the mystery hidden in a seed. We shall find it in
the courage that pierces the darkness. We shall find it in the smile of the child when it is attracted
to a sunbeam. We shall find it amidst all flights that carry us into the Infinite. The feeling of Great
Service is unlimited; it must fill the heart, which is forever inexhaustible. The sacred tremor
should not become the daily gruel. The best Teachings turned into soulless husks when the tremor
left them. Thus, in the midst of battle, think of the Chalice of Service and take an oath that the
sacred tremor shall not leave you.
510. It is necessary to educate the heart. It is necessary to fill the Chalice. It is necessary to strive
through the resonance of the Brahmarandhra center. It is necessary to kindle the flaming wings of
the Fiery World. From the heart we shall go to Fire we shall go swiftly.
511. Again you should not wonder that you create good deeds in spirit without always
remembering them in the body. A generous donor does not count his gifts. It is impossible to
enumerate in words the gifts of the spirit. Many of them are so fiery as to be indescribable in
words. Thus, worldly concepts do not contain that which is most subtle and most high. It is
necessary to remember that each hour the fiery heart creates that which people term miracles.
Thus one can create in accordance with the laws of the Universe. Apply this quality solemnly.
512. The nature dweller when desiring to remember something will invariably shake his head. In
this motion is hidden the ancient thought about the substantiality of ideas. In order to bring the
hidden remembrance to the surface, even a physical movement is required; as though it were
necessary to alter set objects to a different position. Now that we know about various crystalline
precipitations, this manifested instinct is not regarded as strange; quite the opposite, it is
necessary to study the motions of primitive peoples. Among them we shall find not only
expressions of cosmic rhythm but also manifestations connected with understanding the nerve
centers. Thus a human being knows in substance much that has disappeared from the first layer of
memory. Besides, travels and changes in the sites of life aid in arousing the memory; just as a
kaleidoscope gives rise to new combinations, so, many small seeds which contain great
potentiality are awakened in the memory. Thus motion can provide evidence of a perfect, refined
materiality. Moreover, it is necessary to feel how one should give oneself to the Highest
Hierarchy, in order that our being might be of benefit to the cosmic movement. Of course, motion
may not be bodily at all, but spiritual, for you know that there are no boundaries between these
domains.
513. I say as much as is necessary and possible. The Indication must be accepted like a command
in battle. At present, help is needed; it must consist not only in unity and solemnity but also in
straining the heart toward Us. It is necessary to cast out all extraneous thoughts in order to
facilitate Our sendings to you. The significance of a flaming heart is great, this is verily a cosmic
97
magnet. People will admit their cosmic significance least of all. Everyone is willing to fly in the
heavens, but here, also one's significance is great!
514. If a simple motion evokes memory, then special conditions of the Subtle World are
necessary for illumination. One may notice with astonishment that sudden illuminations do not
depend upon rational conditions. Illumination descends in quite unexpected moments. One can
even notice a series of the strangest motions, pressures, and thoughts, as if coming from the
outside. Psychiatrists should investigate this condition. Valuable observations could be
accumulated that will help us to approach the conditions of the Subtle World. Of course, a
sensitive heart will perceive this state of illumination by the quality of the pulse. The sacred
knowledge has nothing in common with somnambulism and spiritualism; the state of illumination
is an absolutely natural one. These fires of the past and the future have only to be noted. In the
Subtle World one must also refine the consciousness. Hence, each educating of the heart is a gate
to the highest worlds. We fear that these undeferrable advices will give place to everyday
conventionality. Someone will say he knew this long ago and will go to the bazaar. You may then
ask in overtaking him, Why, then, do you not ponder upon the heart and think about Fire?
515. It is dangerous not to feel any responsibility. To be a temporary traveler is also dangerous,
for we are all just timeless beings bent upon ascent, like propelled heavenly bodies. Hence, each
apostasy is abnormal, as are crime and evil. Each one ascends according to his nature, and
responsibility becomes not a burden, but wings. Yet as soon as one wavers, the same
responsibility becomes a milestone about one's neck. Moreover, even with no responsibility we
cannot swim in the ocean of the elements. This is not a moral, but a life belt. A farewell is only a
new, welcomed reunion. We are not temporary, but infinite beings.
516. The outflow of invisible energy during physical drowsiness is a true sign of participation in
the repulsion of darkness. At any time We may sound the call to battle, therefore attention must
be paid to an unexpected spell of drowsiness. Moreover, the expenditure of energy does not
remain unnoticed. It will take away much of the heart energy, therefore it is only right to let this
energy again accumulate. It is unwise to permit the exhaustion of this energy, therefore We
remind about a respite in the form of a change of labor.
517. The observations of the flowers of the Subtle World are very indicative; they point out how
creativeness in the Subtle World is accessible to the flaming heart. Verily, there it is easy for the
conscious spirit. It can create without effort, transforming the earthly images into a better form.
But this creativeness is not one-sided; through this process better images are also implanted on
Earth.
518. We do not speak casually about creativeness in the Subtle World. Awareness and [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
