balance10: The teacher must be sure that the actions taken lead in the right direction

94. The falsehood of an author should be prosecuted according to the number of copies sold of his book. To fill people's libraries with falsehood is a grave offense. It is necessary to perceive the true intent of the author in order to estimate the quality of his errors. Ignorance will be the worst basis. Fear and meanness occupy the next place. None of these qualities are befitting the community. To accomplish their removal in the new construction is a necessity.

-Morya: Community 1926

393. People have long sharpened their wills, but they do not understand that they must attain the stage of consciousness that gives the will full authority to act.

650. The power of authority is not demonstrated by a flow of instructions that are pleasing to both the one who gives them and those who receive. The teacher must be sure that the actions taken lead in the right direction--though they may take manifold forms. -M: Agni Yoga 1929

360. Without understanding the great foundations of the unity of all cosmic principles people saturate space with all disrupting principles. Thus there results imbalance of the origins, disunion of all the highest principles and striving to many authorities. Thus dividing the great origin of Hierarchy through human frailty brings its effects, and humanity strains all efforts to depreciate the great Principle. -M: Hierarchy 1931

525. Hierarchy selects a focus upon which a current can be directed. Besides, a personality of this order possesses a fire, realized or unrealized, which makes the communion easy. But also indispensable is a certain quality on the part of the people themselves—trust in and recognition of the power. Therefore in different matters I so often reiterate about authority. This quality is needed as a link of the fiery intrweave. You yourselves see how nations progress by affirming a leader; you yourselves see that there is no other way. Thus the link of Hierarchy must be realized; one should not be short-sighted. -M: Fiery World 1933

141. Where the brain finds strength in negation, the heart though timid still is atremor with joy at the nearness of the manifestation of a solution. People who raise objections against a constructive move usually have nothing to propose in its stead. Indeed such objectors are among the first to follow a leader. They will whisper about disagreement, but willingly and precisely will they carry out a command. Not because of their slavish nature will they accept Hierarchy but due to the labor of their hearts. This means that in a moment of danger it is necessary to maintain equilibrium around a strong authority. Therefore let the leader not be confused by these phantom voices.

454. Cosmic law brings destined people close to world problems. Sometimes they cannot explain how unexpected details are put together. But they realize that their heart is aflame. Thus it is, as it were, joined to something unalterable. In conformity with this immutable law it is possible to pass over the most dangerous abyss. -M: Fiery World 1934

338. When concordance is based not on conventional agreement but on heart cooperation the manifestation of thought is especially intelligible and authoritative. One need not be surprised that the concept of Brotherhood requires so many consonances. These vibrations are joyful ones. -M: Brotherhood 1937

109. man has responsibility for the primal energy since he is capable of co-measurement and of knowing exactly when he violates the beatitude divinely entrusted to him.

-M: Supermundane 1, 1938

350. The outward appearance of a deed is not its essence: this essence is clearly perceived in the heart of the author of the deed. Thus man should not become a sower of destructive forces. Let everyone think about creating good. When people think scientifically they will understand the laws of ethics.

358. We do not speak about our authority but about the principle on which harmonious communion can be built. -M: Supermundane 2, 1938

O beloved ones, mankind are so bent on having justice for themselves, but how many are anxiously willing to give justice to life? And where should justice be given first? Should it not be given to the most important being in the universe to each lifestream--his own beloved I AM Presence, the source of his life? Has it been really just for ages, mind you, for that outer self so boldly to abscond with the energies of that Presence (which are its very own life), then carelessly to use that life as though it were the most common and easily obtained thing in existence? The average individual imposes upon this glorious God-life just hit or miss--anything and everything that discordant outer self desires to think, feel, say or do.
