\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O victorious power of divine Love, Thou art the sovereign Master of this
\nuniverse, Thou art its creator and its saviour, Thou hast permitted it to
\nemerge from chaos, and now Thou leadest it to its eternal goal. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>There is not a thing so humble but in it I see Thee resplendent, not a
\nbeing apparently so hostile to Thy will but I feel Thee live in it and act and
\nradiate. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O my sweet Master, essence of this love, I am Thy heart, and the
\ntorrents of Thy love pass through the entirety of my being and flow out to
\nawaken Thy love in all things or rather to awaken all things to the
\nconsciousness of Thy love which animates all. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>All those who do not recognise Thee, all those who do not know Thee, all
\nthose who try to turn away from Thy sweet and divine law, I take into my arms
\nof love, I cradle them in my heart of love and offer them to Thy divine flames,
\nso that penetrated by Thy miraculous effluence, they may be converted in Thy
\nbeatitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O Love, resplendent Love, Thou penetratest, Thou transfigurest all.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>In a silent contemplation, in a mute adoration, uniting myself with all
\nthis dark and painful substance, I hail Thee, O Lord, as the divine saviour; I
\nbless Thy love as the supreme liberator, I offer thanks for its countless
\nboons, and I give myself fully to Thee so that Thou mayst complete Thy work of
\nperfectioning. Then identifying myself with Thy love, I am nothing but Thy
\ninexhaustible love; I penetrate all things; living within the heart of each
\natom I kindle therein the fire which purifies and transfigures, the fire that
\nnever burns out, the messenger flame of Thy beatitudes, realiser of all
\nperfections. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Then this very love grows silently contemplative, and turning to Thee, O
\nunknowable Splendour, awaits in ecstasy Thy New Manifestation…

\n<\/span>Now that the whole being is more and more deeply plunged into material
\nactivity, into the physical realisation which includes such a multitude of
\ndetails to be thought of and regulated, I call to Thee, O Lord, so that my
\nconsciousness, turned thus outwards, may constantly keep this communion with
\nThee, which is the source of all peace, all strength, all bliss. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O my sweet Master, accomplish all the work Thyself through this
\nindividual being in its integrality. Or rather, do not let anything in this
\nindividual being forget at any moment that it is only an instrument, an
\nillusion made real for Thy intervention in it, and that Thou alone art and
\nactest. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Oh, the benediction of Thy immutable Presence…

\n<\/span>O Thou who triumphest over all obstacles, Thou shalt be in us the
\nvictory over all that would be an obstacle to the accomplishment of Thy divine
\nlaw. Thou wilt dispel the darkness of ignorance and the black smoke of egoistic
\nill-will; Thou wilt dissolve all wrong suggestions and strengthen in us a pure
\nand clear vision and the perspicacity which does not let itself be deceived by
\ndisruptive thoughts and conflicting wills for disorder. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O my sweet Master, Thy infinite love is the reality of our being; who
\ncan struggle against its all-powerful action? It penetrates everything, it
\npasses through every obstacle, whether it be the inertia of a heavy ignorance
\nor the resistance of an uncomprehending ill-will. O my sweet Master, through
\nand by this love, Thou shinest resplendent in all things, and this splendour of
\nThine, ever-increasing in its force, shall radiate its action over all the
\nearth and become perceptible to every consciousness. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Who can resist Thy divine power? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Thou art the sole and supreme Reality. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

\nthe divine union…. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>And what is thus before Thee is all the stones of this house and all it
\ncontains, all those who cross its threshold and all who see it, all who are
\nconnected with it in any way and from one to another the whole earth. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>From this centre, this burning hearth which is now and shall be more and
\nmore permeated with Thy light and with Thy love, Thy forces will radiate over
\nall the earth, visibly and invisibly in the hearts of all and in their
\nthoughts… <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Such is the assurance Thou givest me in answer to my aspiration for

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>An immense wave of love descends over all things and penetrates all
\nthings. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Peace, peace upon all the earth, victory, plenitude, wonder… <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O beloved children, unhappy and ignorant, O thou, rebellious and violent
\nNature, open your hearts, calm your forces, for here comes the sweet
\nomnipotence of Love, here is the pure radiance of the light that penetrates
\nyou. This human hour, this earthly hour is beautiful over all other hours. Let
\neach and all know it and rejoice in the plenitude that is given.

\nsalutation from all the states of being and from all the multitude of their
\nelements. And it is a daily consecration of all things to the All, a call from
\nignorance and egoism to Thy light and love. And Thy answer comes constant and
\nis integrally perceived: All is light, all is love, ignorance and egoism are
\nbut vain phantoms, they can be dissolved. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

\nTake possession of Thy kingdom, master all that revolts against Thee, heal the
\nsouls who do not know Thee and the intellects that do not want to submit and be
\nconsecrated to Thee. Awaken our slumbering energies, stimulate our courage,

\n<\/span>First of all, knowledge must be conquered, that is, one must learn to
\nknow Thee, to be united with Thee, and all means are good and may be used to
\nattain this goal. But it would be a great mistake to believe that all is done
\nwhen this goal is attained. All is done in principle, the victory is gained in
\ntheory, and those whose motive is only an egoistic aspiration for their own
\nsalvation may feel satisfied and live only in and for this communion, without
\ncaring at all for Thy manifestation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>But those whom Thou hast appointed as Thy representatives upon earth
\ncannot rest content with the result so obtained. To know Thee first and before
\nall else, yes; but once Thy knowledge is acquired there remains all the work of
\nThy manifestation; and then there intervene the quality, force, complexity and
\nperfection of this manifestation. Very often those who have known Thee, dazzled
\nand rapt in ecstasy by this knowledge, have been content to see Thee for themselves
\nand express Thee somehow or other in their outermost being. He who wants to be
\nperfect in Thy manifestation cannot be satisfied with that; he must manifest
\nThee on all the planes, in all the states of being and thus turn the knowledge he has acquired to
\nthe best account for the whole universe. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

\n<\/span>It is a veritable work of creation we have to do: to create activities,
\nnew modes of being so that this Force, unknown to the earth till today, may
\nmanifest in its plenitude. To this travail I am consecrated, O Lord, for this
\nis what Thou wantest of me. But since Thou hast appointed me for this work,
\nThou must give me the means, that is, the knowledge necessary for its
\nrealisation. We shall unite our efforts: the entire individual being will
\nconcentrate in a constant call for the knowledge of the mode of manifestation
\nof this Force, and Thou, supreme centre of the being, Thou wilt emanate the
\nForce fully so that it may penetrate, transfigure and overcome all obstacles.
\nIt is a pact Thou hast signed with the worlds of individual life. Thou hast
\nmade a promise, Thou hast sent into these worlds those who can and that which
\ncan fulfil this promise. This now demands Thy integral help so that what has
\nbeen promised may be realised. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>In us must take place the union of the two wills and two currents, so

\n<\/span>\u201cLie cradled in my heart and do not worry: what has to be done will be

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>I am in Thy heart, Lord, and nothing can take me away from it. And it is
\nfrom the unfathomable depths of this heart, in the smiling peace of its
\nbeatitude, that I look at all the outer forms of Thy manifestation struggling
\nand endeavouring to understand Thee better, manifest Thee better. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>If the hour has come, as Thou lettest me know, for the new forms of Thy
\nrealisation, these forms will inevitably be born. Something in the being senses
\nit but does not yet know; so it makes an effort to adapt itself, to prove equal
\nto what Thou askest of it. But what is conscious of Thee and lives in Thy force
\nknows that this new form is only an infinitesimal progress in the infinite
\nprogression of Thy manifestation, and looks at every form with the serenity of
\neternal plenitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>And in this serenity is the very omnipotence of realisation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>One must know how to soar in an immutable
\nconfidence; in the sure flight is perfect knowledge. <\/span>

\n<\/span>Like a sun Thy splendour descends upon the earth and Thy rays will
\nillumine the world. All those elements which are pure enough, plastic enough,
\nsufficiently receptive to manifest the very splendour of the central
\nfire-nucleus are grouping themselves together. This grouping is not arbitrary
\nand does not depend on the will or aspiration of one element or another, it
\ndepends on what it is, it is independent of any individual decision. Thy
\nsplendour wants to radiate; what is capable of manifesting it manifests it, and
\nthese elements gather together to reconstitute as perfectly as possible in this
\nworld of division the divine Centre which has to be manifested. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>In the wonder of this contemplation all the cells of the being exult;

\nhave any force now. A new puissance is needed to transform the new powers and
\nto subject them to Thy divine will. \u201cAsk and this shall be\u201d, is Thy constant
\nanswer. And now, O Lord, Thou must create in this being a constant aspiration,
\nuninterrupted, intense, passionate, in an immutable serenity. Silence, peace
\nare there: there must also be the persistence of the intensity. Oh, Thy heart
\nsings a halleluiah of gladness as if what Thou willest<\/span>

\n<\/span>What has to be will be, what has to be done will be done…. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>What a calm assurance Thou hast put into my being, O Lord. Who or what
\nwill manifest Thee? Who can say it yet?… In all things that strive towards a
\nnew, ever higher and completer expression, Thou art present. But the centre of
\nthe light is still not manifested, for the centre of manifestation is not yet
\nperfectly adapted. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O divine Master, that which has to be will be and it will perhaps be
\nvery different from what all expect…. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>But how is it possible to express certain silent secrets? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>The force is here; in it is the self. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>When and how will this force spring forth? When Thou findest<\/span>
\nthe instrument ready. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Oh, the sweetness of Thy calm assurance, the power of Thy Peace!…

\n<\/span>Thou art the sovereign power of transformation, why shouldst<\/span>
\nThou not act on all who are brought into contact with Thee through our
\nmediation? We lack faith in Thy power: always we think that men should in their
\nconscious thought want this integral transformation for it to come about; we
\nforget that it is Thou who willest<\/span> in them and that
\nThou canst will in such a way that all their being is illumined by it…. We
\ndoubt Thy power, O Lord, and thus become bad intermediaries for it and veil the
\nmajor part of its transforming force. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Oh, give us the faith which we lack; give us the certitude of detail
\nwhich is wanting in us. Deliver us from the ordinary way of thinking and
\njudging; grant that we may live in the consciousness of Thy infinite love and
\nsee it at work at every moment and that by our consciousness of it we may bring
\nit into touch with the most material states of being…. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O Lord, deliver us from all ignorance, give us true faith.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>From the point of view of the manifestation, the work to be carried
\nforward upon earth, a hierarchy is needed \u2013 but in this world which is still in
\ndisorder, can it be established unarbitrarily<\/span>, that
\nis, in perfect conformity with Thy law?… The witness being, calm,
\nindifferent, smiling, looks upon the play, the comedy which is unfolding
\nitself, and awaits circumstances with serenity, knowing that they are nothing
\nbut a very imperfect translation of what should be. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>But the religious being turns to Thee, O Lord, in a great aspiration of
\nlove, and implores Thy help so that it may be the best that shall be realised,
\nso that as many obstacles as possible may be overcome, all possible obscurities
\ndispelled, all possible egoistic ill-will vanquished. It is not the best
\npossible in circumstances of the present disorder which must happen \u2013 for that
\nalways happens \u2013 it is these circumstances themselves which, through a greater
\neffort than ever yet was made, must be transfigured, so that a \u201cbest\u201d, new in
\nquality, new in quantity, an altogether exceptional \u201cbest\u201d may be manifested. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>So let it be. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/span>   <\/span>
\n<\/span>It is always wrong to want to evaluate the
\nfuture or even to foresee it by the thought we have about it, for this thought
\nis the present, it is in its very impersonality the translation of present
\nrelations which are<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage \u2013 <\/font> <\/span>180<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

necessarily
\nnot the future relations between all the elements of the terrestrial problem.
\nDeducing future circumstances from present ones is a mental activity of the
\nnature of reasoning, even if the deduction takes place in the subconscient<\/span> and is translated in the being into the form
\nof intuition; but reasoning is a human faculty, that is, it is individual; its
\ninspirations do not come from the infinite, the unlimited, the Divine. It is
\nonly in the Omniscience, only when one is at once What knows, what is to be
\nknown and the power of knowing that one can become conscious of all relations,
\npast, present and future; but in this state there is no longer a past, present
\nor future, all is eternally. The order of manifestation of all these relations
\ndoes not solely depend upon the supreme impulsion, the divine Law, it depends
\nalso upon the resistance put up against this law by the most external world;
\nfrom the combination of the two there comes forth the manifestation and so far
\nas it is at present possible for me to know, this combination is in a way
\nundetermined. This is what makes the play, the unexpectedness of the play.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>What wisdom is there in wanting to be like this or like that? Why
\ntorment oneself thus? Art Thou not the supreme worker? Is it not our duty to be
\nThy docile instruments and, when Thou puttest<\/span> the
\ninstrument aside for a time, will it complain that Thou abandonest<\/span>
\nit because Thou dost not make it work? Will it not be able to enjoy calm and
\nrepose after having enjoyed activity and struggle? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>One must be always vigilant, attentive to the least call, so as not to
\nbe asleep or inert when Thou givest<\/span> the signal for
\naction, whether with the mind, the feelings or the body; but one must not
\nconfuse this constant state of expectation and devoted goodwill with an anxious
\nand uneasy agitation, a fear of not being this or that and of displeasing Thee,
\nthat is, of not conforming with what Thou expectest<\/span>
\nof us. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Thy heart is the supreme shelter, that wherein all care is soothed. Oh,

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Hail to Thee, O Lord, Master of the world. Give us the power to do the
\nwork without being attached to it and to develop the capacities of individual
\nmanifestation without living in the illusion of personality. Strengthen our
\nvision of reality; make firm our perception of unity; deliver us from all
\nignorance, all darkness. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>We do not ask for the perfection of the instrument, knowing that in the
\nworld of relativities all perfection is relative: this instrument, fashioned
\nfor action in this world, must, in order to be able to act, belong to this
\nworld; but the consciousness that animates it should be identified with Thine<\/span>, it should be the universal and eternal consciousness
\nanimating the varied multitude of bodies. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>O Lord, grant that we may rise above the ordinary forms of manifestation
\nso that Thou mayst<\/span> find the tools necessary for Thy
\nnew manifestation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>Do not let us lose sight of the goal; grant that we may always be united
\nwith Thy force, the force which the earth does not yet know and which Thou hast
\ngiven us the mission to reveal to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>In a deep meditation, all the states of manifestation consecrate
\nthemselves to Thy manifestation.

\n<\/span>My being is happy with what Thou givest<\/span> it;
\nwhat Thou wantest<\/span> from it, it will do, without
\nweakness, without vain modesty and without futile ambition. What does it matter
\nwhich place one occupies, what mission Thou entrustest<\/span>?…
\nDoes not all lie in the fact of being entirely Thine<\/span>,
\nas perfectly as one can be, without the least care of any kind? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>In this deep and steadfast confidence that Thy work will be done and
\nthat Thou hast created and appointed those who have to accomplish it, why
\nstrain one’s energy uselessly and want what is already realised? Thou hast
\ngiven me, O Lord, the sovereign peace of this confidence; Thou hast granted me
\nthe incomparable boon of living in Thy love, by Thy love, of being Thy love
\never more and more; and in this love is complete and unchanging beatitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>I address but one prayer to Thee, which I know to be granted in advance:
\nAlways increase the number of elements, atoms or universes, capable of living
\nintegrally in and by Thy love. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>All Nature hails Thee, O Lord, and with arms lifted and hands

\nthinks she must ask in order to have; but that is her way of bowing to Thee and
\ngiving herself to Thee, for is this giving anything else than being ready to
\nreceive? She delights in thus offering a prayer to Thee though she knows that
\nthis prayer is superfluous. But it is an ardent and happy adoration. And the
\nfeeling of devotion is thus satisfied without in any way hurting the
\nintellectual consciousness which knows Thee to be one with everything and
\npresent in everything. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Each activity in its own field accomplishing its particular mission,
\nwithout disorder, without confusion, one enveloping the other, and all graded
\nhierarchically around a single centre: Thy will…. What is most lacking in all
\nbeings is clarity and order; each element, each state of being, instead of
\nfulfilling its function in harmony with all the others, wants to be the whole
\nin itself, perfectly autonomous and independent. And there lies the ignorant
\nerror of all the universe, a global error repeated in millions and millions of
\nforms. But under the pretext that these activities are separate and in
\ndisorder, to want to suppress them so as to let only Thy single Will subsist,
\nwhich in its solitude would no longer have any reason to exist, would be an
\nundertaking as absurd as it is unrealisable. It is easier, indeed, to suppress
\nthan to organise; but harmonious order is a realisation far superior to
\nsuppression. And even if the final aim were a return to Non-Being, the return
\nwould seem possible to me only through a highest perfection of the being…. <\/span><\/p>\n
