Duty towards the Divine and Others
Duty towards the Divine is far more sacred than any social or family
duty; it is all the more sacred because within the human collectivity it is
almost wholly ignored or misunderstood.
One who has given himself to the Divine has no longer any other duty
than to make that consecration more and more perfect. The world and those who
live in it have always wanted to put human − social and family −
duty before duty to the Divine, which they have stigmatised
as egoism. How indeed could they judge otherwise, they who have no experience
of the reality of the Divine? But for the divine regard their opinion has no
value, their will has

HONESTY
Honesty
is the best protection.
A peaceful heart is the
best reward of honesty.
Be sincere and honest
and your mind will be at rest.

honesty: not to allow our sensations and desires to falsify our judgement and determine our action.
Mental honesty: one does
not try to deceive others or to deceive oneself.
Mental sincerity: the
essential condition for integral honesty.

All
bitterness in life always comes from the ego refusing to abdicate.
All
that happens is to teach us one and the same lesson, unless we get rid of our
ego there is no peace either for ourselves or for others. And without ego life
becomes such a wonderful marvel!...
We can contemplate the
divine smile when we have conquered our ego.
Without
the play of ego, there would be no conflicts; and if there were not in the
vital a tendency to drama, there would be no dramatic happenings in life.
Yes,
those who live in their ego live constantly in an ugly drama. If people were a
little less selfish things would not be so bad.
Meanwhile we must meet

Collaboration and Harmony in Work
The field of work does not change. What you are doing now, you will
continue to do. It is in the attitude in the work, especially in the relation with the other workers, that the change
must take place. Each one sees the work in his own way and believes it is the
only true way, the only way that expresses the Divine Will. But none of these
ways is completely true; it is only by rising above these divided conceptions
that one can reach a better understanding of the Divine's Will. This means
mutual understanding and collaboration instead of opposition and clash of wills
and feelings.

TRUTH
Effort towards the truth
should exist in every man of goodwill.
Our life ought to be
governed by the Love for Truth and the thirst for Light.
Absolute truthfulness
must govern life if one wants to be close to the Divine.
Only those who are
perfectly truthful can be my true children.

ENDURANCE
Endurance: going to the
very end of the effort without fatigue or relaxing.
Endurance is the
capacity of bearing without depression.
Cheer up, all will be
all right, if we know how to last and endure.
To know and be able to
bear and endure, undoubtedly produces a firm and fixed joy.
The most important is a
steady, quiet endurance that does not allow any upsetting or depression to
interfere with your progress. The sincerity of the aspiration is the assurance
of the victory.
A quiet endurance is the
sure way to success.

Three Conceptions of the World
1. Buddhist
and Shankarite:
The world is an
illusion, a field of ignorance and suffering due to ignorance. The one thing to
do is to get out of it as soon as possible and to disappear into the original
Non-Existence or Non-Manifestation.
2. The Vedantic as very commonly understood:
The world is essentially
divine, for the Divine is omnipresent there. But its exterior expression is
distorted, obscure, ignorant, perverted. The one thing to do is to become
conscious of the inner Divine and remain fixed in that consciousness without
troubling about the world; for this external world cannot change and will

The Ways
of Working of the Lord
The Divine's Grace is
wonderful and almighty.
And the ways of working
of the Lord are full of a delightful sense of humour….
Be always ready to
receive the Divine, for He may visit you at any moment.
And if sometimes He
makes you wait at the appointed meeting ― place, that is
certainly no reason for you yourself to be late.

"The Divine" and
"Man"
For those who are afraid
of a word:
This is what we mean by
“Divine'': all the knowledge we have to acquire, all the power we have to
obtain, all the love we have to become, all the perfection we have to achieve,
all the harmonious and progressive poise we have to manifest in light and joy,
all the new and unknown splendours that have to be realised.

The Divine is indeed
what you expect of Him in your deepest aspiration.
What is God?
God is the perfection that we must aspire
to realise.

NEVER WORRY ABOUT DIFFICULTIES
Never worry.
Do with sincerity all
you do and leave the results to the Divine's care.
Let us live each day
without anxiety. Why worry beforehand about something that will probably never
happen?
Anxiety is a lack of
confidence in the Divine's Grace, the unmistakable sign that the consecration
is not complete and perfect.
Don't foresee
difficulties ― it does not help to surmount them and helps them to come.
