test of the 10

451.  Once a French nobleman said to Saint Germain "I cannot even begin to understand the nonsense that surrounds you!"  Saint Germain answered, "It is not difficult to understand my 
nonsense if you will give it the same attention you give to your own, if you will read my reports with the same attention you give to the list of dancers at court.  But the problem is that the order of a minuet is of greater importance to you than the safety of the planet."   -M:  Agni Yoga 1929

267.  Not only insensibility but immobility as well makes people blind and deaf.  They do not possess even basic imagination, hence they distort the entire meaning of existence.  Thus for these shallow-minded ones the magnet of the heart is pure nonsense. 
428.  Nowhere can thought be transmuted except upon the altar of the heart….it is impossible for them to discover the heart in convolutions of their minds.  But he who has already sensed the altar of the heart will also comprehend the discipline of spirit.  We send calls of the heart to those friends who meet upon the crossroads of the East.  -Morya:  Heart 1932
…….............................
501.  The nature of employment of fiery energy lies not in the domain of will but in that of  heart.  The heart does not admit evil, but the will can occasion calamities.  When the world will come to realize the value of the heart-life then will flesh be transformed and draw near to the laws of the subtle realm.
590.  A nonsensical act often sprouts deep roots.       -M:  Fiery World 1935
…………………..……….
264.  In the study of the history of faiths it is possible to observe how humanity has repeatedly grasped subtle conceptions only to forget and later cast aside that which had been cognized.  One may see how in ancient times people grasped the law of reincarnation only to reject it again in a spasm of rage.  The reason for this ecclesiastic denial is understandable--a caste was protecting its prerogatives, for the Law of Existence threatened to equalize the rights of people.
265.  Knowledge will always be positive and affirmative.  There is no time to concern oneself with denials and forbiddances.  Unbelief and error are results of ignorance.  Knowledge searches, investigates and affirms.  When it encounters oppositions it first of all puts the question "Is this not something merely illusory?  Has not the spectre of contradiction appeared?"  Knowledge cannot parry with a spectre, therefore knowledge first of all investigates amiably the apparent contradictions.  Knowledge does not permit dissensions before the face of the higher world.  An exchange of opinions is not a quarrel. 
266.  There is so much intolerance and brutality in humanity that it is not difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to its degree of ignorance.  Such a degree of ignorance forces one to reiterate the fundamentals.  Of what avail is man’s literacy if he remain only a beast!  

267.  It is inadmissible to limit oneself to the gesture of outward prayer--such hypocrisy is the most dangerous blasphemy.   -M:  Aum 1936
