Indeed a spark of light is the first to hit the target

41.  Work without complaint.  I have laid out for you the ways of Spirit; I love being your Teacher in quests of the Spirit.    -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1924
……………………............................................................................
I, vii, 5.  Cease speaking of enemies when an achievement can kindle a great light.  Solitude will transmit the message better than the murmurs of crowds.
II, i, 13.  One should not scatter to the winds a part of what has been predestined.  Being resourceful one need not deviate from the path.  Intense attention is important.  A vigilant spirit walks ahead of understanding.  My ray is ready to kindle the lightning-flash of thought.
III, ii, 10.  A spiritual uplift must be bestowed.  We reverence the Teacher in action.  We live aspiring to a wondrous vision.  Our road is strewn with horseshoes of achievement.  Above our tents shine the rays of valor.  Our joy is to be singed by the flame of Truth.  Our way is triply lengthened.  Is it not a joy to strive against lifeless matter and to kindle the sparks of creative Spirit with the lance of spirit by displaying activity?
III, v, 1.  In beauty do we kindle radiance in every drop of water; in beauty do we transform matter into a rainbow.     -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925

151.  Indeed a spark of light is the first to hit the target….But one cannot expect to kindle emotions by means of mechanical transmission.     -M:  Community 1926
……………………………………………….................................
28.  Beauty is born through the lightning of thought.  Truly a flaming bhakti can kindle new worlds with a thought….What sage of wisdom would not be the lord of love? 
154.  But having seen the sallow coloring of our planet you understand the goal-fitness of crossing-over to where beautiful reality exists.  One must fulfill one's obligation to Earth by promoting the foundations of evolution.  No glass dome can hold back the branches of the growing oak.
411.  Each leaf safeguards the well-being of man.  Each stone stands ready to ensure man's safety.  Kindle the fires of unlimited knowledge.  Find the wisdom to courageously strive.
422.  Therefore we bid humanity kindle the fires of striving and achievement simply.  This panacea deprives no one of anything, and it can be discovered through study.  The manifestations of light are embryos of fire.   
426.  Let us take things as they are.  Let us remember not to destroy enthusiasm no matter whence it comes.  Let us not hide the truth, but let us find a place for each exaltation.  Can exaltation hinder great measures?  Everything will find its place.  To build upon exaltation is easier and more lasting.  As does love so also does enthusiasm kindle the fires.  Let us gather all those who carry the fire and remember how precious is each spark.  Light and darkness--let us not forget anything created of light!        -M:  Agni Yoga 1929

217.  The spirit cannot kindle on lower spheres the fires of the higher centers. Indeed only the highest attracts the highest.  And where only the physical striving exists there can be only a corresponding receptiveness.     -M:  Infinity 1, 1930
……………………………………………………………………..……
46.  Thus the quality of thought is intensified by the impulse of search.  The creativeness of spirit is intensified by the power of fire.  Therefore Our workers must realize the entire power of creative thought and kindle their fires. Thus, only the quality of thought can broaden the consciousness. Thus let Our workers remember.
69.  Pay attention to the flow of thoughts and affirm the right waves of rhythm.  People should not become like animals who can think only in one direction at a time.  The Sons of light and flame should sparkle in full freedom and kindle the fires of space.
100. The spark of the spirit kindles the heart, hence Our Teaching is in need of spreading through the fire of the heart.  How can one kindle the torches of spirit without the fire of the heart?  Only fire uplifts creativeness and imbues each action.  The energy that impels to the vital impulse must possess vital fire.  Hence in this law are contained creative powers. The tension of each energy calls to life the surrounding energies.  Thus all materializations take place, gathering around them all energies.  Therefore the kernel of spirit is a mighty accumulator.
165.  I say, guard your health.  I say, do not burden others by unnecessary sallies and irritation.  The echo of errors resounds not only around you but is carried along the entire chain of Hierarchy.
184.  Truly divisibility of spirit is attained when the centers create flamingly. Thus the harmony of creativeness is imbued with this flame of the spirit.  Each creative impulse kindles spiritual torches when it imbues space with its fire. Therefore the torches of spirit can kindle auras.  Thus the flaming centers kindle spiritual quests at a distance.  Verily great is creativeness.  Yes, yes, yes!
343.  Not without purpose do we kindle the beacons of the fiery heart as a refuge for travelers.  It is not easy for the flaming heart, yet it sacrifices itself for its neighbors,which reveals the justice of the Commandment of Bliss.
347.  Many pillars of salt are spread upon the face of Earth.  Not only did Lot's wife turn back to the past but numberless are those who have looked back.  What did they expect to see in the burning city?  Perhaps they wished to bid farewell to the old temple?  Perhaps they looked for their cozy hearth? Perhaps they looked in anticipation of seeing the house of their hated neighbor collapse?  Certainly the past chained them for a long time.  Thus one must strive onward for enlightenment and health and for the strength of the future.  Thus it should be always; but there may be cosmic knots when an impetuous onward motion is urgent.  One should not be disconcerted and mourn over the past.  Even mistakes are obvious, yet the caravan does not wait and the very events press onward.
436.  Let no one think that without the energies of the heart he can comprehend help, cooperation and Hierarchy.  Neither the mind nor intellectual erudition will enlighten where only the tensity of the heart can kindle the rainbow of complete comprehension. The shield of heart-comprehension is most lasting. The sword pierces suffering, but the heart is the stronghold of the hero.  To you, the keepers of the Stone, only heroism is befitting.  Only unwaveringness and courage befit you.  The ecstasy of a hero comes again with the tension of the heart.           -M:  Hierarchy 1931

113.  It is necessary to kindle the young ones to heroic action which will transform their natures and, imperceptibly to them, prepare the heart for future perfection.  Thus it is necessary with the utmost simplicity and joy to sail to the White Island, as We sometimes call our site.
212.  Patience is the gift of heaven--thus spoke the ancients….In the diversity of achievements one cannot fail to acknowledge the general harmony of the spheres.  Though it be expressed only in one tone, yet each correct note sounds like a cosmic consonance and must be accepted with care.  Therefore people rebel so greatly in heart if this note is rejected.  The trial by patience is one of the highest tests.
255.  You know that the living fire is the most disinfectant remedy, but the nature of fire is the same in all manifestations.  The fire of the heart will be a high manifestation of fire; this means that this fire will be the best purifier and protector.  Therefore instead of various dubious and often poisonous antiseptic prescriptions it is much better not only to have the fire of the hearth but also to kindle the fires of the heart.  It can be proved to what an extent the fires of the heart fight serious illness….By barking at truths long since known, physicians will not reach the panacea.
378.  Solar energy is non-existent without the Sun; thus also the heart will not be kindled without striving toward the focalpoint.  Hence it is easier to kindle the heart through transporting oneself to the focalpoint than by relying on material calculations….let us remember about the sacred heart as the path to the focalpoint.
398.  In order to approach the method of the heart it is necessary to love the world of the heart, or more correctly, to learn to respect all things pertaining to the heart.  Many people imagine absolutely no difference between the paths of brain and heart.  It is difficult for such "brain people" to accept the highest worlds….The manifestation of subtle spheres corresponds to the condition of the heart.  Thus the heart that already reverberates to the rhythm of space knows the resonance of the spheres and also the subtle aroma; and the flowers, in harmony, will make obeisance before it.
412.  Even highest beings must become aflame in spirit in order to act.  The expression "to become aflame" is truly exact.  Precisely one must become aflame!  This means that one must fill oneself with an abundance of Spirit.  But does it not signify that one must enter into contact with Hierarchy?  Only in drawing Spirit from the highest source do we receive renewal and tensity of the fiery energy.  Hence, it is not indicated anywhere that one must isolate oneself in spirit; on the contrary, one must fill oneself with the power of the spirit which leads to light. 
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 flaming wings of the fiery realms.  From the heart we shall go to Fire--we shall go swiftly.
556.  above all formulas stands the energy of the heart; all formulas and conjurations presuppose mechanical apparatuses, remaining within the confines of the lowest teachings.  But now when the forces of darkness are so aroused, the forces of the heart are set against them in opposition….Only the link with the Hierarchy of Light can kindle the inextinguishable fires.  Thus the opposition of the heart to all dark forces will be the sign of victory.  I affirm the might of the heart and from your experience you know how close and powerful is this weapon of light.  The fiery sphere cannot be approached without the flame of the heart.  Initiation by fire is only for the pure heart. 568.  Such is the path of the bodhisattva--when we forget fatigue and ourselves in order to help.  Verily great is the energy thus created; everywhere it is mentioned as love for one's neighbor.  Such love does not calculate but acts without delay….Tolerance and patience are also the path of the bodhisattva. This path is not in the clouds but on Earth.  The effluvium of life is great, hence the path of the bodhisattva is also needed.  Prana is like nourishment for the heart.  One cannot help you through ignoble ways; the remedies must be in accordance with the task.  But often people do not accept the language of the heart; then tension of heart-energy is needed, in other words the expenditure of spiritual treasures.  Already not a few are projected into the world.     
                                                   -Morya:     Heart 1932

10.  Let the straitened times also be blessed.  Precisely at such times do we learn to distinguish the significant from the mediocre.  In the days of contentment our vigilance becomes obscured, yet this quality is especially needed when approaching the fiery spheres.  Hence oppression and tension are so precious, they not only increase vigilance and impetuosity they also force new fires from our innermost depths.  Let the fire of the Tara be especially close.  Thus let us grow to love the unexpected as the source of new joy.  Verily the best fire is kindled through joy.  Hence straitened times are a horror only for the ignorant; for those who know, they are simply a source of events.   -M:  Fiery World 1933

584.  A disciple asked his Teacher "Tell me, how shall I apply the Teaching in life?"  The Teacher advised him "To begin with, become kinder.  Do not consider good as a supernatural gift.  Let it be the foundation of your hearth; upon it build your fire and on such a ground the flame will not be scorching.”
-M:  Aum 1936
