ANSWERS TO A MONITRESS
Sutras
1. Have no ambition, above all never lay claim to anything, but be at each moment the utmost that you can be. 25 February 1957 2. As for your place in the universal manifestation, the Supreme alone will show it to you. 2 May 1957
3. The Supreme Lord has ineluctably decreed the place you occupy in the world concert, but whatever that place may be, you have the same equal right as everyone else to scale the supreme heights as far as the supramental realisation. 17 May 1957
4. What you are in the truth of your being is ineluctably decreed and nothing and no one can prevent you from being it; but the path you will take to attain it is left to your own free choice. 19 May 1957
5. On the path of ascending evolution, each one is free to choose the direction he will take: the swift and steep ascent towards the summits of Truth, the supreme realisation, or, turning his back to the peaks, the easy descent towards the interminable meanderings of endless rebirths. 23 May 1957
6. In the course of the ages and even in the course of your present life you can make your choice once and for all, irrevocably, and then you have only to confirm it at each new occasion; or else, if you have not taken the final decision at the 23 May 1957 Page – 351 Outset, at each moment you will have to make a new choice between falsehood and truth.
7. But even supposing that you have not taken the irrevocable decision at the outset, if you have the good fortune to be alive at one of those extraordinary moments in universal history when the Grace is present, incarnate on earth, It will give you once again, at certain exceptional moments, the possibility of making a final choice that will lead you straight to the goal. 23 May 1957 Page – 352 |
