it is not the purpose of the Teaching to turn students into wind-up mechanical robots

III, ii, 3.   Together with co-measurement, necessity must be understood.  The final test will be that of necessity.   In other words  each one being tested must say what it is that he considers most urgent.  According to the quality of the immediate reply will his consciousness be measured.     -Leaves of Morya’s Garden 1925
………………….….....…......
19.  Master the problem of remaining cool throughout the entire Battle.  The Battle of light is just beginning - millions are in it without knowing the final result.  But you know, and this knowledge should make you wise and prompt a worthy decision.  Your spirit must take wing in the name of truth.     -M:  Community 1926
……………………………………............
245, 468.   Religions have frightened humanity with their dogma of final judgment and have thereby deprived it of daring.  Whoever submits blindly to a state religion is like a donkey staggering under a burden imposed upon it….No book can contain the entirety of life, and it is not the purpose of the Teaching to turn students into wind-up mechanical robots.   
-M:  Agni Yoga 1929
……………………………………………………..…
148.  The great Teaching knew that differentiation of the elements leads but to final fusion.   -M:  Infinity 1, 1930
…………………………………………………………...….
96.   But you do not know when help is needed and when the final hour of battle rings out.  Yet fixing upon us your entire consciousness, aware that we shall not delay, you are building an indestructible bridge and you are gathering the treasures of might.     -M:  Hierarchy 1931
………………………………………………………………….....….......
12.  But we can name many occasions when our messenger became frozen through heartlessness.  It is so hard to bring into action the potencies of the heart.   One should manifest a flight over the precipice as if from the final shore into the Infinite.   How sacred is the courage of self-denial which opens the heart!
158.   One must wisely understand the final clash of the two worlds - the one that departs and the one that is born.  Signs of madness can be seen in the first and of daring in the second.
400.  If suicide is the greatest crime, then each severance of the striving energy is also harmful.  We are here only for the perfecting of our spirits.  Thus let us not sever the life-bearing energy.      -M:  Heart 1932
……………………………………………………………………….........…..…
26.  For such fiery humility the spirit must be tempered through thousands of years and must live in constant achievement.  Thus takes place the final bid for the planet, and in this great Battle we manifest our might--therefore our humility is so fiery.  It is not easy for a fiery spirit to manifest humility.  The fiery spirit is like a furnace, like a flaming torch, and self-denial and self-sacrifice are its lot upon the last step.  Therefore the last sojourn on earth is so hard.  Each threshold means a painful step; thus do we forge the great future. 
                                                           -Morya:  Fiery World 1935
