The superiority of the spirit will not come if we do not strive toward it.

400-1.   One must think of self-perfectment.  One must arouse in oneself the superiority of 
the spirit, which will always be sustained by Hierarchy....401.  The superiority of the spirit will not come if we do not strive toward it.  One must assimilate the thought about the transitoriness of the earthly hour and the immutability of the Infinite.        -M:  Hierarchy 1931

391.  Madmen do not know upon what they infringe, and the ignorant affirm their superiority.  It is better not to see the emanations of humanity.  Darkness is overtaking those who have lost the path to light. 

604.  The assumption of personal superiority is one of the most shameful manifestations of the imperfection of the spirit.  It not only corrupts all the surroundings but it also remains as the greatest impediment to improvement.  It is essential to counteract such an ailment with a powerful restorative.  Thought about cooperation and Brotherhood will be salutary in guarding against such a dangerous ailment and will call forth new strength.  In the Brotherhood there can be no assumption of personal superiority just as there can be no self-satisfaction.       -Morya:  Brotherhood 1937

The soul then remains a fallen potential that must be imbued with the reality of Spirit, purified through prayer and supplication, and returned to the glory from which it descended and to the unity of the whole.  This rejoining of soul to Spirit is the alchemical marriage which determines the destiny of the self and makes it one with immortal truth.
