The Source of Life

Seek in first place the Source of life and, thus, your Overself will coordinate your being. As you donate your life completely to the Divine, you will know that, having lost it for yourself, you will discover it in essence and in truth in the consciousness of God. Being empty of everything, the real work is done in the adequate and necessary degree of purity.

It is by means of self-donation and of the recognition of immaterial laws that a being can fulfill the part of the evolutionary plan that is their share. Attention place on themselves, the exercise of deduction and the illusory wish to conduct their own evolution generate strong obstacles to the concretion of that same evolution.

The real state of freedom

The real state of freedom is gradually attained through a process in which, in parallel, the energy of the inner being elevates and the energy of the ego surrenders to it. It is necessary to cultivate gratitude for the inner work. In order for an inner indication to be fulfilled, it is essential that the individual have it as a means to glorify the Supreme Life.

Everything real that an individual comes to know is not taught to them externally, as true knowledge springs from their intimate core. Contact with the internal kingdoms is like the toll of bells that have the precise moment of sounding, in which at each toll, another tone is added.

A piece of information does not produce the same effect in all beings that receive it. Each one absorbs it according to their own need, their conditionings and their degree of openness to what is new. In simplicity, the human being will know the essence of all things. The experience of someone else may be of use as an indication, but true understanding is only obtained when, with their own feet, the pilgrim reaches the sacred lands.

It is when one remains neutral before some information, receiving it without accepting it and without refusing it a priori, that understanding for that given moment or for a specific situation can emerge from one’s own inner being.

The energy

The energy, just like the light of the sun, donates of itself to all alike; like the rain, it makes the plants grown, be they good or bad. Each Law, each instruction that comes to us, is like a sprouted seed that is put in our hands. If it is not readily placed in the earth, it ends up dying; if the land is not plowed, it will likewise perish.

The inner life

The inner life is power when individuals falter; it is gentleness when they lack sweetness; it is wisdom when they ignore how to behave; it is love when they tend to yield to wrath; it is light when they are in darkness.

It is in the mental plane that, from the point of view of the spirit, the imprisonment of the consciousness in matter takes place, that is, it is in this plane that life identifies with its own image.

If, with many words, the human being proclaims their pretended wisdom, when they glimpse true knowledge, they will choose silence. If they happen to speak, nevertheless, they will do it with words that, due to their surrender, the Spirit will put in their lips.

Our work is not destined to appearances, but to the essence

Our work is not destined to appearances, but to the essence, to what lies under the illusory external forms. Without nation, without dogmas and without a creed, the true pilgrim walks. About their past, they have nothing to say; about their future, nothing to expect. We are guardians of the future, which does not belong to us, though we must not neglect it.

A single Life

Many peoples must become a single group; many countries, a single nation; many languages, a single language; many philosophies, a single thought; many religions, a single inner movement; many fragments of life, a single Life.
