To be no secret pact
But honor in the flame is born
As man like God does act.
The glory of the Highest then
Will bring His peace to men
And every heart will understand
The mighty swordlike pen
That writes “Finale!” to the past
Where greed and hate did live
And welcomes joyously at last
The brilliant love He gives.
Let every hour our finest be
As moving onward then
We sing the anthem of the free
And new life does begin.

Pearls of Wisdom 13:24
..........................................................................................................
Man is drenched with emotional substance, he is drowned in self-pity. His ordinances are established by a sense of separation from his fellowmen whom he often regards as but pawns in his personal schemes. Thus he breaches the Covenant of Unity....
Although there is obviously a link between the lower self and the higher Self, man is not willing to hold the hand of those who are nearby in the cosmic chain. Out of earthly pride he seeks instead to bypass those whom he does not consider to be worthy links in the mystic circle, those who in reality are identified with himself by inner magnetic affinities.
Why will men seek out of pride to escape their rightful place? A moment’s acceptance often gives eternal liberation. Yet men do not see their victories as composed of small stuff. Obedience to the Law seems beneath them from time to time. Like Naaman the Syrian they would rather obey their own rationalizations than to dip seven times in the Jordan as the prophet commanded....
Certainly Our hopes for humanity are caught up in the reality of the Law, not in its unreality, for Our hopes are not in conformity with human opinion but in obedience to the fashion of eternal principle meted out as a ladder of safety upon which even the weak ones need not fear to step. The bond is a strengthening one, and those who understand Hierarchy as a chain of light will be raised....
In the vilest of men there is a hunger for purity. And well might the last be first if men who profess without possessing are not cautious of their opportunities. -Morya Pearls of Wisdom 13:39
..................................................................................................................
The time has come for awakening. People behave as though eternal Life were already theirs. They do not understand and therefore they decry the mightiest purpose....
What is the real purpose of serving the higher Law? Rather than find oneself stranded in the service of the human monad, that human self, the purpose of higher striving is ever to recognize a higher state of unity with one’s Self....
He who said, “Seek ye first the kingdom,” knew whereof he spoke. Again and again We have seen how the quagmire of personality has bogged down the soul. Our urge is that you drink at the one fountain of reality, that you discount no possibilities but that you be a wary person capable of discernment. But this should not be hasty where one is but a neophyte at any age. One should look again upon the best possibilities and gaze hopefully. One should consider that possibilities themselves are always the loving hand of God. They appear in different guises, but the finality of achievement is always at hand. ...
Individuals need a cleansing of mind and spirit, for the fragmentary conceptions of the world are callous, and man does despite unto himself. All despite is done unto the self even when it is done unto others. Therefore We urge upon humanity a hastening of the way, the unraveling of skeins of destiny, fragmentation of the Teaching--and let man assimilate what he can.
