\nSOAR HIGH<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Our consciousness is like a young bird, it
\nmust learn to use its wings. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Take your flight towards the heights. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Soar very high and you will discover the
\ngreat depths. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The day comes when all barriers have fallen,
\nwithin and around us and we can feel like the bird that opens its wings for an
\nunopposed soar. <\/span><\/p>\n

6 December 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>A being free from all bondages, flying
\nfrom height to height in a happy seeking for divine transformation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>A resplendent sun rises above the horizon.
\nIt is your Lord that comes to you. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The whole world awakes and stretches in
\ndelight at the contact of His glory. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>As the earth that heaves and opens, as the
\ntree that grows, as the flower that blossoms, as the bird that sings, as the
\nman that loves, let His light permeate you and radiate in an ever-increasing
\nand widening happiness, a happiness steadily moving onward as the stars move in
\nheaven. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Spiritual atmosphere: light, fluid, clear
\nand transparent and so clean ! <\/span><\/p>\n

THE DIVINE\u2019S HELP TO MAN<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Our thoughts are still ignorant, they must
\nbe enlightened. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Our aspiration is still imperfect, it must
\nbe purified. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Our action is still powerless, it must
\nbecome effective. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Listen silently to the order which comes
\nfrom the Supreme Lord and you will have the capacity to carry it out. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Know what the Divine wants and you will
\nhave mastery. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The inner command is more sure than the
\nmental conception. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The reign of reason should not end until
\nthe coming of the psychic law which manifests the Divine Will. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Power to reject adverse suggestions: the
\npower which comes from the conscious union with the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Wisdom cannot be acquired except through
\nunion with the Divine Consciousness. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Integral wisdom: that obtained by union
\nwith the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Like everything that belongs to creation,
\nwisdom is progressive. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>A bit of wisdom is welcome. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In the depths of the Inconscient<\/span>,
\nthere also shines the Divine Consciousness resplendent and eternal. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The Divine Will acting in the inconscient<\/span> is all-powerful even when we do not know it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Indeed, I am convinced that when the Inconscient<\/span> is conquered no more conditions will be
\nrequired; all will be a free decision of the divine Grace. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The Greeks had a keen and exceptional
\nsense of beauty, of eurythmy<\/span>, of harmony in forms and
\nthings. But at the same time they had an equally keen sense of men\u2019s impotence
\nin face of an implacable Fate which none could escape. They were haunted by the
\ninflexibility of this Fate, and even their gods seem to have been subject to
\nit. In their mythology and in their legends, one finds little trace of the
\ndivine compassion and grace. <\/span><\/p>\n

This notion of compassion and grace made its appearance in <\/span>Europe<\/span> later with the Christian religion −
\nwhereas in <\/span>Asia<\/span> and especially in <\/span>India<\/span> it had long before been the very essence
\nof Buddha\u2019s teaching. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>So in all the Greek stories, legends and
\ntragedies we find this inexorable cruelty of the decrees of a Fate that nothing
\ncan deflect.  <\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The faith that goes to the Cosmic Divine
\nis limited in the power of its action by the necessities of the play. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>To get entirely free from these
\nlimitations one must reach the Transcendent Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The only hope is in the capacity of the
\ninvisible Power ! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Only the supreme consciousness can have an
\neffect on your Karma and this consciousness is independent, above all human
\nconsciousness. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The Supreme Power is taking up all the
\nmovements. It will turn them into the Truth. No effort is needed, no aid from
\nthe mind or any of the instruments, even the individual consent is no longer
\nneeded. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Those who are predestined receive the help
\nof an Inner Guide. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Divine solicitude: always active, even
\nwhen we do not perceive it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let us understand and receive with
\ngratitude this Divine Solicitude, so often not understood. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Integral solace: that which one can
\nreceive only from the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Solace: the blessings the Divine grants
\nus.  <\/span><\/p>\n

BEAUTY<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Artistic taste is pleased with beautiful
\nthings and is itself beautiful. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Artistic sensibility: a powerful aid to
\nfight ugliness. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Artistic works: all work at the service of
\nbeauty. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

May we ask X [an artist] to work on
\nactivities which are non-artistic? <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

All and everything

27 April 1966<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Beauty is a great power. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Spiritual beauty has a contagious power.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Beauty does not get its full power except
\nwhen it is surrendered to the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The beauty of tomorrow: beauty which will
\nexpress the Divine Power. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The beauty of tomorrow manifesting the
\nDivine: a beauty that exists only by the Divine and for the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Beauty is not sufficient in itself, it
\nwants to become divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Pure sense of beauty can be acquired only
\nthrough a great purification.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Among the most precious things in life are

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Optimism: more helpful than its opposite. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Curiosity: if we want to be exceptional,
\nmay it be our attributes that make us so. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Mental curiosity must be seriously

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Physical curiosity takes its value from

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Chastity: a little austere and proud, it
