A single spirit is always disclosed as the herald of group striving.

14.  One must forgive people their failure to understand.  Good people are often guilty of faulty judgmen; it is essential to be lenient with beginner's mistakes.   -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1924

III, i, 9.  Help to build my Country.  People are loath to see the trembling of the old world.  Not sternness but solicitude about the wonderful plan impels me to repeat over and over.  And why make a lentil stew out of amrita?     -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925

263.  It will be said "We have renounced joy for the community.”  Reply, "What a graveyard your community is if it is built on lenten oil!”  How tearfully despondent are privations!  How they smack their lips at forbidden dainties!      -M:  Community 1926

139.   The fire of brahmavidya can be perceived only through the eyes.  Words cannot express it, writings cannot express it, for its flame is within the thought that is not expressed in the physical shell.  Only the lens of the eye can transmit the sparks of highest thought.  Certain eyes can discern the sparks of cosmic rays that the crude sight will think is simply the light of the Sun.  In order for the naked eye to perceive the cosmic ray as the sparks of fohat the fire of brahmavidya is needed.     -M:  Agni Yoga 1929

221.  Correlation is affirmed not only by group striving but also by a single spirit.  A single spirit is always disclosed as the herald of group striving.  All the currents toward conscious manifestation of Be-ness to which humanity has lent impetus were inspired by one spirit.  Thus the creativeness of spirit of an assembler of race always instigates the tide by his synthesis alone.     -M:  Infinity 1, 1930

54.  Let Us explain how to understand tolerance.  When We speak about a higher tolerance We mean that Hierarchy can show leniency because the heart of the hierarch is all-containing; it feels everything and knows all impulses and intentions and weighs all the good and bad.  In His leniency the higher Spirit descends into the sphere of the consciousness of the disciple, and by His indulgence and tolerance uplifts the disciple.  But not thus must the co-worker accept indications about tolerance.  For the disciple who is intolerant toward his surroundings the needed quality cannot be called leniency.  When the development of this wonderful quality, tolerance, is indicated to him it means that first of all he must exclude censure.  The indication about tolerance does not mean to have always command over one's fellow-worker; it does not mean that the spirit is on such a level that it can condemn those who surround him.  The indication about tolerance first of all must awaken in the disciple the understanding of the fact that the spirit must be freed from egoism, because selfhood carries the most frightful monstrosities.  Hence only the spirit of a disciple freed from selfhood can manifest leniency.  On the path to the fiery world one should understand the true significance of tolerance.      -M:  Fiery World 1935

87.  Lenience is one of the qualities of the higher world, therefore each one in turn must show this quality wherever there is a spark of good.  Let people not weary of seeking this power of Grace.  Thus in eternal vigil one may take upon oneself the service of the higher world.  One must not pride oneself on such distinction; no particular pride is fitting but a special joy is permitted.       -M:  Aum 1936

121.  One might think that after the flying ships of Atlantis, thought about victory over the air would have been abandoned for a long time to come, but thought about flight was destined to survive.  People began to dream about airships, iron birds and flying carpets.  Solomon used a flying apparatus, and finally Our beloved Leonardo laid the foundation for scientific aeronautics.  Thus one can trace in many fields of knowledge how ideas expressed in poetic legends gradually grew into scientific achievements.
