IN THE REGIMENT OF CHRIST

 

We welcomed the sunrise, and Life seemed to me as a religious rite. The grass, on which we were stepping, was decorated with millions of dew-drops, and around us, the pines, which symbolize the eternal aspiration of the Spirit towards the heights, had their tops rising above. Yes, we were in a not-made-by-a-human-hand temple. We formed the wheel of the Paneurhythmy. The Master entered inside the circle, in the center the orchestra started playing, the wheel was set in motion, and our souls began to quiver. Later we found ourselves in another wheel - a conversation began.

 

The one who is born inwardly will desire to render everything he has gained - knowledge, power, and wealth, to God. The Great rational beginning is in the first place of his consciousness. If man wants to be famous, then he is not in the Reality. Everyone, according to what he has, is a cashier of God.

 

Why, when they get into a tight corner, do people come to God? What need does He have of them, when they have lost the best time, in which they could have worked for the Divine? In his youth, man says that it is not the time for him to work for God. When he gets old, he finds out that he is no longer suitable. No, solve the problem now, and say, "I will go to serve! No sufferings, nor detractions, nothing is going to stop me!"

 

A brother said, "A friend of mine wants to serve God".

 

Not only should he have the desire, but he should realize it. With all his strength he should work under the conditions that he is in. Man always tries to arrange his material matters and then work for his soul. However, he arranges and arranges, and just when he has arranged them, he dies. That is why even in the present moment you should begin to work for God. When man works for himself, there is no result, because he forms long waves; they are slow and go only near. When he works for God, he forms short waves, which are fast, go far, and produce a big result. The Will of God should be done without much talk about it. Be like that grocer who would put five grammes over the commodity for luck without pointing it out, but whoever would check would know that. There is One who lives within the people and when you are doing someone a favour, do it because of Him. Do unto the others as God does unto you.

 

God begins each work, then passes it on to the people so they too can do something and have a share in it, in order for them to receive a blessing; eventually in the end He again completes it. One who wants to walk in the Divine way must employ the new methods in his life. If he wants to receive Resurrection, he must observe the following two conditions of the superior Love: first, each morning and evening he should send all people his weal, which is invested in his soul; and second, he should secretly love the people and serve them all day long, even when they hate him and do evil things. This is what Christ infers with the words, "service of God".

 

The Invisible world, when it wants to assign a task to somebody, it will test him in all respects. Whatever you wish, they will give you, and after that they will determine what work you are able to do and on what post. Some have fear that when they enter the spiritual life, they will lose what they have. And they have to be convinced that they will not lose anything; on the contrary, they will gain something.

 

Here are three actions: when we are implementing God's Will, we are working for ourselves; when we are seeking God's Kingdom and His Righteousness, we are working for our neighbours; when we are glorifying God's Name, we are working for God. If you love, you glorify God's Name.

 

The mother carries the child in her womb for nine months and does not complain, and the child would bring water once, and it complains that it has been working too much. Ever since God has created us, He too has been carrying us in his womb, and when we do the smallest thing for Him, we complain that we have done too much.

 

No one can serve his nation if he does not serve God. When each person works to bring the best into his nation, and namely - rationality, honesty, justice, application, the nation rises. I should not be telling you how to serve, it is intrusive, but each person should serve as he understands. If a person works for God, so that it goes well for him, actually the motive is personal interest and he works avariciously. In Love all are servants, and in lovelessness - masters. Now we are passing from an old order to a new one, and until we pass, we have to learn to discern the Divine from the human, because the human also resembles the Divine. Now you are builders of the New. When man completes the work for God, he passes on to a higher state.

 

Once we come to the great contradictions of Life, we are tempted with that, in which we believe. Our idea of God does not endure. So our faith does not endure. If we serve God, what do we have to fear? God is unalterable. When the temptations come, say, "I will serve God!", nothing more.

 

Read page 112 from the tome "The Good Weapon". Wasn't it said for the day of judgement: "Go away, I do not know you". For God to know you means that you implement His Will, serve Him, and become a co-worker of God! God's way is the easiest, there are methods there. What is most difficult is to sin, because you are going to have to pay. The Writ says, "Their deeds go after them". When you are working for God, if you set out for the other world, your deeds will go after you. The New idea is service of the Rational beginning, service of the Whole. You are not going to bring the people your goods, but like the mailman delivers other people's goods, so shall you bring the goods of God. You shall say, "It is my duty to deliver the letters of God". When you hold on to God, you will succeed. Be prepared to work for the One, who has created the world.

 

When man reacts to the Divine, a reaction comes, sicknesses and sufferings come. One who is in the regiment of darkness should go and enlist in the regiment of Christ. Then he will be fired from serving the darkness. Enlist in the regiment of Christ. Your signature has to be in the language of Christ. If all spiritual people decide to carry out the Will of God, the world will mend. If all do so, then the Kingdom of God will come to Earth immediately. Sooner or later, people will pass over the road of complete self- denial and devotion to the Whole.

 

It is a law: when a deed of God has to be done, then if the first one does not do it, it will be assigned by the Heavens for a second one to do it. If he does not do it as well, it will be assigned to a third one, and so on, until the tenth one certainly does it. One should wait! Those who are predetermined will come. Doesn't Christ say, "The sheep my Father has given me will come". The "sheep" are the ready souls. They will all come! It is true that there is an opposition, but it is now comparatively less.

 

When man works for God and God works for him, blessing comes. Now God is working for us, and we are not working for Him, and thus we create our misfortune. There is a law: you cannot come to love God unless you work for Him. Merely speaking the words "let us love, let us love...", without carrying them into effect, means a pointless appeal, good wishes, but passive. There needs to be work! With work for God, man will accept the Love. Work is an implementation of Love. The Black lodge has deluded the people, and they only work for themselves, they settle their own matters; thus, humanity has come into collision with the Divine in itself.
