Humanity must remember the transmutation of consciousness.


199.  A hand must possess strength and an eye vision to perceive new possibilities.  The most worthy labor is that performed with one's own hands.  By labor do you unlock the gates to the land of your striving.  Everything is possible, but remember that what has been promised will be manifested at the appointed time.  Who aspires will attain.          -Leaves of Morya’s Garden 1924
…………………………………………………………………................................................……..
II, ii, 9.  He who attains hastens on without looking back.  Humanity must remember the transmutation of consciousness.    --Leaves of Morya’s Garden 1925
………………………………………………………………………………..................................……
208.  slander is a devourer of vital fuel and from the standpoint of goal-fitness must be destroyed.  An absurd abusive word is not often accompanied by clear-cut thought, but slander by nature is akin to everything reared in darkness, and thought carries it inaudibly like an owl in flight.   -M:  Community 1926
……………………………………………………………………………….................………..
253.  He who affirms the power of the future is our warrior.  His own power is multiplied by the treasure of the future.  Just as the hour of striving is like a whirlwind so is looking back akin to decay.  All the past must be burned away for the yoga of Fire.    -M:  Agni Yoga 1929
………………………………………………………………………...................……….….
325.  All life processes act from inner impulses.  When impulse ceases to be sustained by the attraction of the Cosmic Magnet the force of cohesion is dissipated.                         -M:  Infinity 1, 1930
………………………………………………………………………………...................................…
287.  Devotion does not resemble a windmill or a hired singer of praises.  Rather it resembles a firm tower upon a summit, which the enemies avoid in awe but in whose chambers a shelter is ever prepared for a friend.  Devotion is the opposite of doubt, which is nothing but ignorance.  It means that devotion rests upon enlightenment.  Thus validity of learning is akin to devotion.  It is not credulity, not levity, but firmness and steadfastness.  Truly the tower of devotion is not constructed by haphazard toil or by petty decisiveness; and devotion can be violated only by perfidy, which is the same as betrayal.  But valuable are the towers of devotion!     
                                                         -M:  Hierarchy 1031
……………………………………………………………………………...................................……..
243.  Let us accept love as the impetus for expanding consciousness.  The heart will not be aflame without love; it will not be invincible nor will it be self-sacrificing.  Thus let us give our gratitude to each receptacle of love       -M:  Heart 1932
……………………………………………………………………………….....................................
454.  It is difficult to describe in words this feeling which shuts as it were the fiery centers, thus depriving them of power.  Undoubtedly repugnance is akin to fear.  But for ascent one must overcome repugnance.         -M:  Fiery World 1933
………………………………………………………………………………......................……
379.  Only the heart can determine the fine point of balance between striving and caution.      -M:  Fiery World 1934
…………………………………………………………..………………..............................….
13.  Self-sacrifice is born from the heart, and the Brotherhood is built upon this.  Our cooperation lives by the heart.      -M:  Suermundane 1, 1938
                     -Shasta
