symptoms of the aura. However such mechanical reaction is undesirable. Each poison cannot but
react on the nerve centers, if applied for long. When we come to speak about the fiery heart, this
recognition of radiations comes about naturally. Besides, it is most fitting to sense the quality of
the aura. Because many tints appear highly intermingled, and just the viewing of it does not give
an understanding of their essence. Thus, sometimes a blue aura may be exposed to an undesirable
yellow radiation, and as a result there is a greenish light, but such a combination can be
distinguished from a pure green synthesis. Similarly, violet may be the result of the approach of
crimson. Thus, a single glimpse alone means little. One must perceive through the heart the
essence of what is taking place. Thus, for example, it may happen that due to illness the radiation
will grow dim, but the fiery consciousness will apprehend that the nature of the radiation is not
bad, and that only because of accidental sickness has it been temporarily changed. Likewise it
59
may happen that the radiation may be subjected to an external influence, such as results from
obsession. Here also only the fiery consciousness will apprehend the true cause. Therefore, when
I speak about future photographing of the auras, it must not be forgotten that fiery straight-
knowledge will also be needed for this.
278. The Teaching must first of all help the manifestation of justice. It must be foreseen that there
will be cases when the details of the evidence must be observed in the light of fiery reality. There
are many cases where from remote examples it is possible to judge about external influences.
279. It is possible to purify considerably the consciousness just by burning deodar. Likewise,
Morua stands on guard and does not admit many undesirable visitors.
280. Esteem people who not only speak but also act. Affirm the ability to understand action. The
hardships of these times have resulted from disorganization. The cause of such disorganization is
absurd in its insignificance-the cooperation of hearts has been forgotten. Meeting together in
prayer, people forget how to attune themselves for service. Whereas, such a condition is
indispensable and is easily attained; for this it is merely necessary that people help one another.
To preserve an unusual frame of mind means to proceed to the Fiery World. Under the ordinary
conditions of life such a frame of mind is not easy, but precisely it must not be set aside. One
should not enter the temple otherwise than prayerfully. In prayer existence is uplifted and made
better; therefore each prayer, as also each exaltation, must be better than the preceding one. Each
step of the ladder of the spirit must be traversed. How majestic is the Ladder to the Fiery World,
which has in a year three hundred sixty six steps by day and three hundred sixty six by night!
Every step is distinct from every other, and let each one be better than the preceding one. Joy
toward the Teaching, will it not be a true adornment of a step? In each joy for the Teaching is
already contained new cognition. Often one cannot express in words this step, given in joy. It is
indisputable, and what a veritable mountain is ascended in the prayer of joy! Pains are alleviated
by it, the task is made successful by it. No one and nothing can block this joy. Thus shall we have
the advantage of success. The same thing may be wished to all, because on the ladder of the spirit
there is no crowding. Let each one rejoice at the sheer beauty of a new step. Why should anyone
go backward? But it is difficult and burdensome to lose what has been already traversed.
Downfall is always harmful, even for the body. One can imagine how ruinous it is for the spirit,
for the fiery being. Contact with Fire already produces a special kind of tissue, which glows on
the upward, and is reduced to ashes on a downward path. The ladder of ascent is the measure of
magnanimity, consequently magnanimity may be achieved daily.
281. Fear of the future is the horror of the World. It breaks in upon life under different concepts.
It gradually decomposes the mind and deadens the heart. Such fear is false in its nature. People
know that none of their situations are permanent, consequently it is sensible to prepare without
delay something for the future. But formless and immobile factors of chaos attach the
consciousness to illusory places. One must intensify one's realization of reality in order to
recognize the falseness of Maya, and to understand that truth lies only in the future, when we
draw near to the Abode of Fire. It is impossible to describe how people try to conceal their fear
before the future. They attempt to prove that not the future, but the past must occupy their
thinking. They shamefully avoid everything that reminds about the advancement into the future.
They forget that this attitude constitutes a dangerous poisoning of space. Even in the purest places [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
