49. nations have forgotten how to renounce; even the smallest thinks only how to receive. Meanwhile the planet is ill and all is sinking in this sickness; meanwhile someone wishes to evade the final battle through infection of the whole planet. And some hope to be setting sail in broken fragments, forgetting that the ocean is also departing. It is easy to picture that the planetary body can be just as sick as any other organism and the spirit of the planet is affected by the condition of its body. How to name the illness of the planet? Best of all as a fever from poisoning…. A stupendous acceleration is forcing all lines to shake.
216. Being falsely busy indicates first of all inability to make use of the treasure of time and space, and such people can execute only primitive forms of labor….They bring the place of labor into a state of stupefaction; they think up a hundred pretexts to fill in the cracks of rotten work. They cannot find an hour for the most urgent. In their stupidity they are ready to become arrogant and to deny that which is most essential for them.
261. It depends upon the leader to avoid turning useful forces into a jar of scorpions. Fortunately there are so many current tasks that it is not difficult to direct forces to an urgent problem. Often the growth of forces is confused with antagonism, often instead of calm application of a possibility the coals of hatred are fanned. -M: Community 1926

3. Imagine a traveler who is crossing an abyss upon a rope. Would it be wise to begin calling him? The call may disturb his balance. Therefore one should pronounce names less often, reserving them for urgent need.
20. The new must be seen as urgent and useful, inapplicable abstractions have no place. We are weary of air castles. Even the far-off worlds must be mastered in their physical reality. Such mastery as for example over a piece of ice or over the chemical heat of the Sun must enter the consciousness as must also mastery of the minutest products of matter. Retardation of spiritual realization is caused by a lack of attention to the manifestations of nature.
249. The yogi can be a builder of life because he knows true values and knows co-measurement. Life itself brings to the surface the urgent need for the yoga of Life.
357. One must understand rhythms, for how else do we bring effectiveness to our actions? If lifeless sand arranges itself into special designs in response to rhythmic vibrations, then how much more is humanity influenced by rhythm! -M: Agni Yoga 1929
……………………………………………………….............................................................…..…
128, 262. it is urgent to point out to all those who speak against extreme devotion to the Teacher that only by force of devotion can refinement of consciousness be achieved. The culture of Spirit and thought are to be followed, thus manifesting an unconquerable devotion to Hierarchy….Many blows are being prepared; one must adhere to Hierarchy with all strength! One must strain one's utter attentiveness to our counsels.
335. harmony means adherence to the foundations. -M: Hierarchy 1931
…………………………………………………....................................................................….…
515. Nations hope to make up for the lack of agni by crude violence; but no force crude and low can kindle the Fire of light. One can observe an unprecedented obduracy coincident with the decline of agni in the hearts of men. -M: Fiery World 1933
……………………………………………………….....................................................................
375. People usually think that equal help can be extended in all stages of circumstance. But can a cure be expected when the organism is already disintegrating? It is impossible to grow a non-existent hand, it is impossible to reanimate an already dying brain.
558. Verily one should not wonder when refined energy involuntarily wends its way to remote distances owing to urgent need. One should recognize such a state as unavoidable and help one's energy to strive in accordance with its magnetic attraction; let it labor usefully.
607. Captives were formerly considered the indispensable attribute of the conqueror. Later it was realized that such barbaric customs are incompatible with the dignity of man. But let us see, has the number of captives really diminished? On the contrary it has increased in all walks of life. Such abasement particularly strikes one's eye when one observes the prisoners of ignorance. It is hard to picture the throngs of those bound by superstition and various prejudices! -M: Brotherhood 1937
………………………………………………............................................................................
63. Co-workers must understand that everything requires urgent decisions. Let them imagine the quantity of information that pours into our abode, all of which demands immediate decision.
122. We do not conceal the need for urgent measures because, in the ongoing Armageddon, the dark ones hope to corrupt all human energies. But we know how to oppose them; thus observe where we direct our care. -M: Supermundane 1, 1938
……………………………………………………….……....................................................................
427. People do not realize the degree of saturation of the atmosphere. They think that we should be able to do everything, yet they themselves continue in their opposition….People talk about ceremonial rays; it would be better if they thought about rays of urgent assistance. In the midst of conflagration a special collaboration is needed. We have already spoken of the time that is worse than war, and now such a time can be seen.
