LEAVES of Morya s garden

the days until you will pass safely

through the conflagration.

I offer you My Hand and I will conduct you

unscathed.

But be sensible and reject not the Hand.

After My Indications you yourselves will apprehend

the vastness of the fire.

It is shameful not to perceive the boundary of the

New World.

It is shameful to proceed, still tied with a gallows-rope.

Let the new sun shine through your window!

392. The tail of disobedience

drags a long way behind.

393. Manifesting neither love of country nor

deeds of valor,

They march, driven by malice.

Good ethics are swept away by gunfire.

The hand can hold only a gun.

But what of the Divine Image?

Befitting to It is the New Beauty.

394. He who is safe and sound remembers

with gratitude what has happened.

The strong one looks into the future

with sword upraised.

The wise one perceives the coming task.

The beautiful in spirit thrill at the harmony

of the World.

Seek the explanation of the rises and plunges of

the spirit in the shuddering of the planets.

The world is one in the consonance of spirit.

The wondrous gift of receptivity is natural

to all rational beings.

But knowing these currents

We do not call them oppressive—

We seek new work beyond their range.

The moon by night, the sun by day.

Even the stupid dispose of life according to these

luminaries.

Boundless is the World, countless the colors of the

Light.

Immersed in its harmony, the spirit sings the song

of all hearts.

Therefore, rejoice if you can sense it.

Devoid of effectiveness is the slumbering spirit.

395. Respect the principle of Hierarchy.

In Brotherhoods great and small, all actions

are given through the Elders.

There may be teachings and inspirations,

but actions originate from One Source.

Await not gifts but gather treasures.

I can give you all the pearls of the world,

But what will you do with this treasure?

You will find the most iron-bound, the most musty,

the most tomb-like vault, and the gift will die.

But it will be different if under My Hand you will

by yourself string from human souls

a necklace of pearls,

And will judge their size and value.

Look for the new ones—they are appointed and

directed.

Do not reject their knocks.

396. One should treasure every hour devoted to My Work.

One must grope and find the doorway to Light.

397. By your actions should you show reverence for the

Guiding Hand.

You can increase your strength by embracing Our Shield.

Arriving at the crossroads, take only the new path.

My judgment is ready, but muster all resourcefulness

and avoid wasting energy.

The river must be nurtured by streams,

not littered with trash.

Clouds have become thickened;

One must not condense them further.

You should understand that truth is simple.

Learn to hearken to the Teacher.

398. Chiefly, act not through anger

but through indignation of the spirit.

The fire of anger leaves only holes

in the web of the Universe.

But if you act in indignation of spirit,

Defending the Name of the Lord and the power of

your Teacher,

Then even blows will be justified.

Therefore, choose in all things between the fire of

anger and the purifying flame of the spirit's

indignation.

399. Wisdom grows not by centuries but by hours.

When countries merge in an instant,

When prison walls crumble, remain steadfast.

400. If you could remember the ecstasy of the spirit

freed from evil,

You would rejoice, not mourn!

The spirit burdened with malice cannot rise.

But kindness set free soars

into the radiance of the Light.

401. Only those of stony heart

will violate the joy of the spirit.

The wings of happiness are granted only

to those uplifted in thought.

Unneeded are masses or armies—

One can attain by one single flight of the spirit.
