\nHarmony
\nand Goodwill <\/span><\/font><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n


\nHARMONY<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Harmony: let us strive
\nthat the day may come when this will be the means and the end. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Harmony is my aim and
\nall that leads to harmony makes me happy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Integral harmony:
\nharmony between things, harmony between people, harmony of circumstances and
\nabove all harmony of all aspiration directed towards the Supreme Truth. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A harmonious collective
\naspiration can change the course of circumstances. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collective harmony is
\nthe work undertaken by the Divine Consciousness; It alone has the power to realise<\/span> it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a deep and true
\nconsciousness in which all can meet in love and harmony. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Page <\/span>
\n―<\/span> 197<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

It is only in union with
\nthe Divine and in the Divine that harmony and peace can be established. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>20 July 1935 <\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n

Surely we must always
\nwant peace and harmony and work for it as much as we can <\/span>―<\/span> but for that the best field of action is always within ourselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look for the inner
\ncauses of disharmony much more than the outer ones. It is the inside which
\ngoverns the outside. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>4 July 1966 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Do not worry or be
\nimpatient <\/span>―<\/span> all the disharmonies will disappear, but it must be on the true
\nbasis of a settled luminous consciousness leaving no room for the play of the
\nego. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For all to agree, each
\none must rise to the summit of his consciousness: it is on the heights that
\nharmony is created. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>April 1970 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You must rise so high in
\nyour consciousness that it dominates the opposition. This is the solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>4 March 1971<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

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

Collaboration: ever
\nready to help and knowing how to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collaboration does not
\nmean that everybody should do the will of the man who asks for it. True
\ncollaboration is a non-egoistic union of all personal efforts to express and realise<\/span> the Divine’s Will. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We must replace
\ncompetition and strife by collaboration and fraternity. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>2 July 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Substitute the spirit of
\nrivalry and competition by the goodwill of collaboration and mutual
\nunderstanding. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is when things are
\ngoing wrong that it is the best opportunity to show one’s goodwill and spirit
\nof true collaboration. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


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

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, the good will
\nhidden in all things reveals itself everywhere to the one who carries good will
\nin his consciousness. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 Page <\/span>
\n―<\/span> 199<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

This is a constructive
\nway of feeling which leads straight to the Future. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One should keep goodwill
\nand love constantly in his heart and let them pour out upon all with tranquillity<\/span> and with equanimity. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>16 December 1966<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Good will for all and
\ngood will from all is the basis of peace and harmony. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>14 August 1969<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Goodwill: of modest
\nappearance, it makes no noise but is ever ready to be useful. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Mental
\ngoodwill likes to show off a little, but is very useful. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


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

 <\/p>\n

Benevolence makes life
\nfragrant without attracting attention. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A tireless benevolence,
\nclear-seeing and comprehensive, free from all personal reaction, is the best
\nway to love God and serve Him upon earth. <\/span> <\/p>\n

 Page <\/span>
\n―<\/span> 200<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

I mean a benevolence
\nsincere and spontaneous in thought and speech and not a supposed benevolence in
\nacts which is accompanied most often by a dreadful sense of condescending
\nsuperiority serving chiefly as a platform for human vanity. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n


\nTolerance<\/a><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tolerance is full of a
\nsense of superiority; it should be replaced by a total understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tolerance is only the
\nfirst step towards wisdom. <\/span><\/p>\n

The need to tolerate
\nindicates the presence of preferences. <\/span><\/p>\n

He who lives in the
\nDivine Consciousness regards all things with a perfect equanimity. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nFreedom <\/font> <\/a> <\/span> <\/i><\/b> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is liberty? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Liberty<\/span> is to depend only on the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>28 March 1932<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you have a strong and
\nconscious will and your will is centred<\/span> around the
\npsychic then you can have a taste of liberty, otherwise you are the slave of
\nall the outside influences. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>24 August 1955<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Freedom does not come
\nfrom outer circumstances but from inner liberation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Find your soul, unite
\nwith it, let it govern your life and you will be free.<\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>31 August 1966<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Freedom is to do only
\nwhat the Supreme Consciousness makes us do. <\/span><\/p>\n

In every other case one
\nis a slave, whether of the will of others, or of conventions, or of moral laws,
\nor of vital impulses, or of mental fancies, or, above all, of the desires of
\nthe ego. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>21 September 1969<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Freedom is far from
\nmeaning disorder and confusion. It is the inner liberty that we must have, and
\nif you have it nobody can take it away from you. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe only true liberty is
\nthat obtained by union with the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

One can unite with the
\nDivine only when the ego is mastered. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>26 July 1971 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Liberation: the
\ndisappearance of the ego.<\/span><\/p>\n
