Heroism and Bravery 

 

Heroism is to be able to stand for the Truth in all circumstances, to declare it amidst opposition and to fight for it whenever necessary.

And to act always from one's highest consciousness.

 

Heroism:

1) To do always what is most beautiful and most noble.

2) To act always from the height of one's consciousness.

 

Heroic action fights for the beautiful and the true without fear of obstacles and opposition.

 

Heroic thought goes to the conquest of the unknown without fear of difficulty and incomprehension.

 

Only he is never vanquished who refuses to be vanquished.

 

We aspire to be the valiant warriors of the Lord so that His glory may manifest upon the earth.

 30 September 1954

 Page 179


Bravery fears nothing and knows how to hold tight against adversaries.

 

BOLDNESS 

Boldness: do fearlessly what must be done, not dreading any difficulty.

 

Mental boldness: let your mind be capable of foreseeing the perfections of tomorrow.

 

Vital boldness must surrender to reason.

 

Physical boldness does not know the impossible in its consecration to the Divine.

 

Spontaneous boldness: one of the results of perfect trust in the Divine.

Page 180


 COURAGE

 Courage: bold, it faces all dangers.

 

Integral courage: whatever the domain, whatever the danger, the attitude remains the same — calm and assured.

 

Courage is a sign of the soul's nobility.

But courage must be calm and master of itself, generous and benevolent.

 

In true courage there is no impatience and no rashness.

 

Never mistake rashness for courage, nor indifference for patience.

 4 November 1951

Vital courage must be controlled to be helpful.

 

A noblest courage is to recognise one's faults.   

 Page 181


There is no greater courage than that of recognising one's own mistakes.

 1 May 1954

There is no greater courage than to be always truthful.

 31 July 1954

Have the courage to be completely frank with the Divine.

 

Whosoever has courage can give courage to others, just as the flame of the candle can light up another.

 

It is quite necessary that those who have courage should have some courage for those who have none.

 

The moral courage and endurance are often much more difficult to get than the material courage and endurance.

 22 July 1955

STRENGTH, FORCE AND POWER 

The true strength is always peaceful.

4 May 1954

 Page 182


All who are truly strong and powerful are always very calm. It is only the weak who are restless. True calmness is always a sign of forcefulness.

 

Integral silence: the source of true force.

 

An exterior power has value only in proportion of its expression of the power of Truth.

16 January 1955

Individual power: limited in its capacity and action.

 

Enlightened individual power: limited in its action but of a very high capacity.

 

Mentalised power: power becomes utilisable.

 

Dynamic power: indispensable for progress.                                                          

  Page 183


Prudence and Balance  

 

Vigilance: indispensable for all true progress.

 

In each human being there is a beast crouching ready to manifest at the slightest unwatchfulness. The only remedy is a constant vigilance.

 18 August 1954

Prudence: very useful for weakness because weakness needs prudence; strength does not need it.

 

Common sense: it is very practical and avoids any mistakes, but it lacks fight.

 

Sobriety has never done harm to anyone.

 

Equanimity: immutable peace and calm.

 

In the deep peace of equanimity the love will grow to its full blossoming in a sense of pure and constant unity.

 5 October 1934

 Page 184


The loss of money is of small importance, but the loss of equipoise is a much more important thing.

 20 August 1935

All mischief comes from a lack of balance.

So, let us keep our balance carefully, always, in all circumstances.

 10 August 1954

Perfect balance: one of the most important conditions of a growing peace.
