CHAPTER SIX
=======================================================================
First Reading : Record of Time
In the chronological flow of time every moment is related with every other moment, and each moment is a reflection of time eternal, therefore an observation on of a particular time - event is an exploration into eternity
Within the configuration of time, space, and motion there is a momentum for a divine revelation of grace, which may convert a noble act of man, at a particular time, into an all eternal legacy of life across time
Remembrance of a good deed from the past is a seed of future greatness, by the sense of motivation it may generate in the present, from which clarity of vision, nobility of mission, and certainty of action are derived
Clarity of vision is obtained through the spiritual quest of man, in which he prayerfully enters into the inner - most part of his heart, and in the process reaches divine eternity to receive a commandment of life
Nobility of mission is a sense of purpose in life, which begins to grow, when an inner vision of the spirit has been measured against events from everyday life, upon which a noble path of life is continuously patterned
Certainty of action is a sense of determination, for a particular act, which will be present when an inner conviction of the heart has been harmonized, with a thoroughly honest assessment of a current situation
Everyone is truly called to participate everywhere in the One Life, and to make a real difference in the life of the world, by committing his life for the improvement of all life, in order to make life worth living for
( The Path of Inspiration )
Second Reading : Virtue of Learning
Virtue lies in the constant learning for a mastery of life, upon which the ability to rule over the body is attained, through the strengthening of the mind, by the divine power of human spiritual mindfulness
Divine mastery of life may be achieved, by developing constant awareness of the triune energies of life, namely, the living energy of the body, the forming energy of the mind, and the guiding energy of the spirit
The triune energies of life are expressions of the one living energy, within the all divine becoming of life, by which the continuation of life is made possible, through the wonderful power existing within life itself
There is an essentially divine guidance in all the processes of living, which may surely lead a man with an open heart, to the unlimited possibilities in life, by which he may experience divine fulfilment of life
A commitment to life is an act of initiation, which places a person within the divine guidance of life, in whose overwhelming presence all of the divine blessings, and energies, and powers may abundantly be given
A service to the all divine becoming of life confirms a person in his place of honour, and exaltation, in the great kingdom of life, in which he will become one of the greatest, through his worthy endeavours
Every man should work in life, with life, and for life, since the creator of all life, who is present within life, is also life in its totality, through whom all things are gradually moving towards the fulfilment of life
( The Path of Initiation )
Third Reading : Joy of Harvesting
A divine flow of life arises from the human spirit, to renew and awaken the human mind, in order to make the human body a perfect instrument for the purpose of the One Life, in its daily activity of work
The field of daily work is a ground for celebration, where the prayer of thanksgiving is given for the beautiful harvest of the season, and the prayer of petition is offered, for the planting of seeds in the next season
By the great covenant of life the Almighty One confers his blessings, the land produces its crops, and mankind sanctifies work, through worship, in order to bring forth a harvest of plenty, as a gift of the One Life
The Almighty One, the universe, and mankind are one in the unity of the One Life, and jointly participate in the everlasting process of life, which is the all divine becoming of life, and universal source of all things
By the consciously directed thought of prayer all things are renewed, and the cycle of planting and harvesting begins again, when the night of the full moon gives way to a new day of the golden sun
All is now inaugurated and the One Life is magnified, when the bright morning sun rises ever higher, to bestow its enhancing power of life, upon this land of hope and glory, where the blessed life continues
Therefore, everyone must always find the guiding light, within the inner heart, and cheerfully enter into the sacred battle field of work, for the wonderful presence of the Almighty One is truly here, now and forever
( The Path of Inauguration )
Fourth Reading : Realm of Infinity
There is a tranquil island in the sacred lake of serenity, a divine realm of mystical experience, where a blessed line of spiritual stewardship was quietly begun, in time immemorial, to endure forever, throughout all eternity
By the sacred mountain of prayer and the holy river of praise, a man enters into the realm of pure potentiality, where divine mystery of life shall reveal its wonderful power, in response to all spiritual thoughts of action
Mastery of the body enhances the power of the
mind and encourages the way of the spirit, making
the body a worthy vessel of the great life - force,
and perfect manifestation of the One Universal Life
Through the sacred path of transcendental unification, the awakened soul within the mind goes beyond time, and binds itself to its ancient source of origin, in order to receive its golden inauguration of the One Sacred Life
The soul is within the mind, and the mind is within the body, thus the spiritual emanation of divine life becomes integrated with the material manifestation of man, bringing yet again and again, a new dawn in life
A vision from the One Life generates a sense of mission, and a strength of conviction, which will ultimately determine a carefully chosen aim in life, and energize every action for its eventual materialization
Serving the One Life is the greatest vision of all, and he who is called to its mission belongs to a common brotherhood, which exists across time, and in different places, and yet unified in their action for life
( The Path of Consecration )
Fifth Reading : Character of Service
Life is like a river flow , which must be protected at its source, and guarded in its course, since it is a dynamic process of continuity, with fathomless depths that reflect all the sacred and wonderful mysteries of the One Life
The three dimensional unity of body, mind, and spirit constitutes a human life, which experiences the seven transitional stages of development, namely, conception, birth, childhood, youth, adulthood, old age, and death
The abiding power of love encourages the growth of all human life, in its natural path of development, and expands the countenance of peace, to calm every troubled heart, during any period of great contention
There is a continuous activity of goal identification,
and self - reconstruction, in the life of man, which will enable one to determine a personal position, analyze a potential problem, and discover a prospective possibility
The combined power of work and worship generates a capacity to rule, over life, and sanctify all things, in a humble service to the Almighty One, in whose justice and mercy the world of mankind continues forever
There is a truly noble commandment in life, by which everyone is called to work, for the continuation of life, conservation of resources, and preservation of nature, in order to safeguard our common evolution of life
Therefore, a man who has been chosen to sit upon the throne of life must build the five royal characters of valour, honesty, wisdom, loyalty, and courage, since he must always be ready to serve and protect life
( The Path of Dedication )
Sixth Reading : Stages of Life
The attraction of physical forms, and the infusion of spiritual forces, generate the conception of a human life, through an act of procreation, in which a seed of life is implanted to grow, within the womb of love
Remembering nothing about the dark watery womb, it has grown within, or anything before it, a baby is born to continue the task of living, and to bear a testimony to the all divine unity of life, for whom he has come
For a child of nature, there is everything to enjoy in life, for the world offers many wonderful experiences, and nothing is more important to anyone, other than to live naturally, in accordance with the dictates of life
Increasing sensuality tends encourage a youth to explore, and experience the pleasures of life, while growing awareness tends to cause bewilderment, at the encounter with human miseries, sufferings, and imperfections in life
Responsibility of time, for work and leisure, must be understood more comprehensively, by any adult, since a given allocation of time, for living, carries with it a commandment to serve the universal cause of life
Old age is a period in life, when the time of youth is left behind, though never its enthusiasm for life, since a service to the One Life may be continued, with a continuous sharing of wisdom, from the experience of life
Since there is only life eternal, within an all divine becoming of life, the process of life - including - death will end, transitionally, in death - opening - life, beyond which life will continue, in its eternal journey of experience
( The Path of Incarnation )
Seventh Reading : Potency of Man
The one is present in the many, and the many are coming from the one, therefore he who once lived, is now here, and will always be, since this wonderful life continues forever and ever, throughout all eternity
Like a high mountain standing strong and a flow of water filling all, the way of the One Life is a continuous process of consolidation and expansion, through its combined unity of purpose and diversity of patterns
Within the unity of the One Life, there is a sacred duality of attraction and opposition, and therefore of integration and differentiation, which inspires the birth of human consciousness, through its continuous interplay in life
Within a cycle of life the seed of human consciousness plants its roots in the body, grows out its branches in the mind, and bears its many fruits in the spirit, in order to fulfil its sacred mission for the One Life
Spiritual processes of the mind will gradually move to integrate the consciousness of man, with the divine consciousness of the One Life, when a clear individual calling to greatness has been decisively received
When the spiritual mind - over - self within man has become attached to the universal mind of divine unity, an all basic goodness will arise, from within the One Life, to generate a state of pure potentiality in man
The fourfold process of mind - over - self, which generates a human state of pure potentiality, will be spiritually initiated when the five senses of perception, and their continuous impact, are consciously controlled
( The Path of Perpetuation )
