Explanations on the Meeting Room Setting

Given at the first introduction into it on August 6/19, 1919 - Feast of the Transfiguration, 7 am.

Keep in your mind the setting of the room as it is. These things are put in order according to a certain law. Everything here has its meaning, nothing is superfluous.

The purple paint above the door indicates that you need to be strong; the green one wants you to grow in God's virtue; the pink one - your heart to be filled with love; the blue one - your mind to be filled with faith; the orange one means a manifestation of physical life. This picture with concentric circles shows the path of development of the human soul, the primary origin of man - how he began his life. The other picture - the pentagram - shows the man in his current state - the path that he has taken. The image of Christ that you see here represents man's current desire to draw closer to Christ, Man has started from the virtues going upwards, he has entered paradise: the tree that you see is the tree of paradise; then he sinned, passed through the wisdom obtained through ordeal; and at last he passed through love and entered into salvation. Then he will ascend through the way of justice, then he will descend into the way of truth, and then he will already be united with God. Virtue, wisdom, love, justice and truth - this is the path through which one ascends. The inscription on the pentagram is:

In fulfillment the will of God through love lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through wisdom lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through justice lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through virtue lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through truth lies the power of the human soul.

Your task throughout the year will be: to perceive God as love and wisdom, and through them to instill in your soul all other virtues. Only in this way can you develop and be enlightened. In order to be strong in the world, one must first begin with love. Virtue represents the man himself, who has gone through love. Through wisdom, man has learned God's statements towards him.

Now, I will give you the motto: in fulfillment the will of God through love lies the power of the human soul, because God is love. We cannot do the will of God if we do not love Him, if we are not fond of Him. It is God's will that we all be virtuous. To be virtuous - that is in people's relationships with each other. We have to be virtuous not only to our neighbors, but to all creatures - by "neighbors" I also mean all the mammals that serve us, and even the small animals, they are also our relatives in the broadest sense of the word.

The first rule for acquiring love is to be humble. Love is a quality known only to the humble, the weak; it is their gift. Strong people, who trust in themselves, do not know what love is. We suffer not from love, but from too much knowledge, from a lot of power. There are two forces in the world: power without love and power with love. The first one, power without love, is a physical force that destroys, while the second one, power with love, is a divine force that creates. So, when we say that we must be strong, we understand that we must have the power of divine love.

Apart from what I have said so far about your task during the year, I will give you, as a motto, "The Good Prayer" - to reflect on the deep meaning that it contains. Read a line from it during the day and let the principles, laid down in it, be spiritualized in you through the law of love.

(Following is the first public talk "World Love", held on the same day, 10 am, at "Nadezhda" Community Centre, Tarnovo city).
