III, ii, 3.   Together with co-measurement, necessity must be understood.  The final test will be that of necessity.   In other words  each one being tested must say what it is that he considers most urgent.  According to the quality of the immediate reply will his consciousness be measured.     -Leaves of Morya’s Garden 1925

245, 468.   Religions have frightened humanity with their dogma of final judgment and have thereby deprived it of daring.  Whoever submits blindly to a state religion is like a donkey staggering under a burden imposed upon it….No book can contain the entirety of life, and it is not the purpose of the Teaching to turn students into wind-up mechanical robots.

26.  For such fiery humility the spirit must be tempered through thousands of years and must live in constant achievement.  Thus takes place the final bid for the planet, and in this great Battle we manifest our might--therefore our humility is so fiery.  It is not easy for a fiery spirit to manifest humility.  The fiery spirit is like a furnace, like a flaming torch, and self-denial and self-sacrifice are its lot upon the last step.  Therefore the last sojourn on earth is so hard.  Each threshold means a painful step; thus do we forge the great future.
