YES, HE COULD HALT A STORM!

 

Yes, he could hall a storm, drive away hail and “read” the clouds. The most important thing for
him, however, was to change, to utterly transform the human condition; to drive away the storms of anger, to transform fear into prudence, pride into self-respect. Is that not a wonder? He attached greater importance to awakening the core of corn passion in people than to raising the dead.

 

How could this be achieved? Where does compassion lie? In one of his lectures the Master had the following to say: “The feeling of compassion lies in the same place as man’s religious feeling, that is, in the crown of the head.”

 

When you want to establish the location of this feeling in a person’s head, do the following experiment. Summon two persons in whom this feeling is well-developed. One of them should place three fingers on the crown of the other person’s head, where his religious feeling is centred, and he or she will at once experience a feeling of light.

 

Let us assume that the feeling of compassion is lacking in somebody. How can he acquire it? Such a person should associate more with philanthropic persons who are ready to make sacrifices for the good of other people, or he should read books about or containing examples of persons in whom this feeling is strongly developed. It is beneficial for him to place his hand on the “centre of compassion” for ten to twenty minutes every day so that a certain amount of energy will come to him. It takes between one and two years to develop this feeling within yourself. These feelings are nourished with energy.

 

As you can see, it is a matter of application. The forms of these things come to life in us.

 

When it comes to bringing up children one must bear in mind the means by which the forces of living nature are centralised, because the forces in the human brain are centralised in the same way.

 

I say: work consciously on the development of your intuition. If a person leaves himself free, relying completely on his intuition, he will obtain better results than if he acts exclusively according to his reason. Leave yourself free, do not fear your intuition, that is, the divine in you, and you will see what sort of results you obtain. If you are sick and you place yourself in the hands of your intuition, that is, the laws of reason which govern the whole body, you will be healed in a very short space of time.

 

Express your thoughts, feelings and actions in the conditions of the greatest harmony Let this be an ideal to aim at.

 

HE WAS ADDRESSING EVERYBODY when he said: “The people of to-day must perform a great task. Your task cannot be left to the next generation, for which another task has been set.”

 

“Every nation considers that it has been given the task of setting the world to rights. Nations are right in thinking that they have been chosen by God, but it is not only one nation that is concerned, but all of them together.

 

“All nations should unite as one body, and they should fulfil God’s task. Blessed is the day when all nations are chosen by God.

 

“If the people of to-day do not submit and do not hold out their hands to one another, afate which is unimaginable will befall them.”

 

“Remember, over the next forth-five years the present world order will change and not a memory of it will remain.” (This was said in 1941.)

 

“Who will win? Those who are bearers of love. Love is the powerful locomotive force of the whole of life. All contradictions disappear in the fire of love. Love will come to the world, the day of conciliation will come.”

 

That was how he spoke and everybody lived around him in that daylight, which remained on earth. All we have to do is to seek it in his word.

 

He diminished himself and came down to us so that we too should drink water from that spring.
