III, iii, 7. When someone bars your way step aside in silence if you know your path.

46. Never did I speak about any ease in bringing the new consciousness into life. Not destroyers but moldy, conventional virtue is the enemy. -M: Community 1926

183. So strong is the guiding principle of the Magnet that the forces which do not respond to the Law of Attraction are yet subservient to it. One may define the cosmic ruling force as the power and spirit of the creative Magnet. The concept of a ruling force is applicable to the might of the Cosmic Magnet. And destruction is subordinated to the ruling force of the Magnet. Thus is the Universe constructed, and the whirl of construction is manifested as a light-bearing Law. Therefore the concept of dissolution should be supplanted by that of transmutation. The creative power is affirmed by the process of transmutation, and in the entire Cosmos the guiding principle is transmutation. The guiding whirl collects all cosmic fires. The guiding whirl engulfs the opposing forces. The guiding whirl impels all manifestations toward goal-fitness. Thus is creative Infinity molded! -M: Infinity 1, 1930

188. Let the traveler not forget that he cannot return to the home he abandoned, that only by himself can he reach the Luminous Citadel to which he is summoned. Let the traveler remind everyone at the crossroads about the irreversible paths.
201. Courage can be acquired only in the heart. In the cerebral sinuosity of the brain one can find an intelligent distribution of forces, but courage that proceeds by the straightest and most luminous path cannot exist outside the heart; judge it by the antipode of courage—fear. First of all fear reacts upon the heart and from there proceeds to the extremities. Verily all qualities are measured by the heart.
339. Surya-Vidya--thus was the Teaching of the Heart sometimes called. In this definition was indicated the fieriness, the sunlike quality, the centrality of the heart. Verily anyone who wishes to cognize the heart cannot approach it as only a part of the organism. First of all one should recognize the centrifugal aspect of the heart and study outward from it, not inward toward it. The solar plexus is the antechamber of the temple of the heart. The Kundalini is the laboratory of the heart. The brain and all centers are the estates of the heart because nothing can exist without the heart. Even the brain can be supplemented to a certain degree. Even the Kundalini can be somewhat nourished by a manifestation of electricity, and the solar plexus can be strengthened by blue light. But the heart stands as the temple of humanity. One cannot conceive of the unity of humanity by way of the brain or the Kundalini, but the radiance of the heart can bring together the most seemingly varied organisms, even across remote distances. This experiment of the unification of hearts across distance awaits its workers. -M: Heart 1932

6. Nowadays man crosses fruits and plants without proper supervision, but one should observe through lengthy experiments how best to preserve the fiery substance. One must not lightmindedly interfere with the creativeness of nature.
94. The heart in its full significance is a transmuter and a condenser. Often these processes happen to be so strong that human strength cannot suffice to contain and endure the tension. From antiquity has come the prayer about resigning one's spirit to God. One should understand truly this surrender of the spirit. If you feel an unbearable anguish of the heart, transfer it mentally to the Lord. Thus you may join your heart with the Inexhaustible Source--Hierarchy. Such action may be particularly needed when the tension of the entire planet is great. One must be prepared for the most diversified influences, both cosmic and human. The adherence of the heart to Hierarchy is a continuous action, but at present We are pointing out particular instances when it becomes necessary to strengthen the heart with the manifestation of Hierarchy with especial clarity of consciousness. Many will not understand how one can strengthen the heart by thought because for them the heart is but a physical organ. But whoever has felt Our currents will understand the meaning of this bond….And how majestic is this Ladder of Immeasurable Help.
97. Surveillance must be very vigilant, but it must not appear as a sign of mistrust. One must transform control into cooperation and reciprocal information. Measures of trust and refinement of quality must be introduced from top to bottom. Many useful measures have been condemned and destroyed only because of hatred of supervision. Of course ignorance is the cause of such lack of goal-fitness. …
One must be cleansed of all covetousness and bondage. From early childhood the freedom of discipline of spirit should be emphasized. One may arouse all dignity and honor; without honor a man cannot be honest. It should not be thought that slavery can be approved by Hierarchy. On the contrary, the fiery realm seeks not slaves but co-workers. Consider the refinement of the heart as the measure of honor. Thus let us not forget that in the most everyday life are laid the foundations of the world's grandeur.
194. The Teaching must disclose paths but not be merely a pharmacy. Let people have an opportunity to observe and discover, otherwise there will be reactions via Karma.
340. With all attentiveness each one must banish from his thinking all that which can bind him to ordinary daily mode of life. Means and opportunities should not be sought in everyday routine. It has been observed to what an extent We do construct in an unusual manner. But right now one must strike still more with unusualness. Look upon this as a means for success. People have entered a narrow place; one should not follow their prejudices. These must be subdued from an unexpected quarter.
-M: Fiery World 1934

437. It is possible to perceive the significance of secrecy, but words will be inadequate. -M: Aum 1936

385. The heart must be the supreme judge. Being the conscience of peoples it will produce equilibrium.
546. To isolate a clear thought without incidental waverings will be in itself a lofty discipline. In the Brotherhood attention is paid to such purification of thought….Each heart is surrounded by anxiety, agitations and tremor. One can overcome these tremors by addressing oneself to Hierarchy not halfway but fully; such an appeal is not at all frequent. Yet for the simplest experiments unshakable striving is required. Usually a swarm of tiny, malicious insects attempts to violate the purity of thought. All these petty ones must be subdued by brotherly unity.
