frightening manifestations. One may say to the dwellers on the thresholds I've no time to gaze
at you! Thus, the offering brings ease.
137. Actually it is inadmissible to try to alter Karma willfully or forcibly. The Lords of Karma
add each violence to the chalice of condemnation, but They can lighten Karma where
perfectionment and offerings are without end. Thus do we lighten the paths to the Fiery World,
when we are willing to do the best possible. It is not for us to measure what is best, but the heart's
desire leads to the radiance of the gates. Restrain each thought about self, but permit the heart to
lead along the shortest path. The heart has been given as the focal magnet to the Fiery World. Not
without reason do many hearts grieve, both on the Earth and in the Subtle World. Of course the
nature of the heart is fiery, and it sorrows at all obstacles which prevent its return to its native
land.
138. It is correct to refrain from spiritualism. The dark ones have chosen this path for the
penetration and sowings of evil. It is possible to think with purity about everything, but a clouded
consciousness finds in everything the path to obscuration. Especially at present it is necessary to
avoid any obscure channels. One must go toward the Light with all striving. I assure you that it is
necessary now to be strengthened in heart, for the time is full of poison.
139. Who will keep silent when blasphemies are uttered? Each living heart says, We are not with
you, blasphemers! The disease of blasphemy is very dangerous. But no justification is to be found
in the fact that this is a disease, as this ailment is very disgraceful. When the heart is alive it will
oppose in every way the infection of blasphemy. One can call to mind heroic oppositions even on
the part of children, when their hearts were pure.
Be blessed, you who take a stand against blasphemy!
140. It is necessary not only to recognize that there is no void, but also to understand the
surrounding life. The understanding of life as intertwined and mutually nourishing brings
realization of the omnipresence of psychic energy. On the very smallest examples, in incomplete
micro-organisms, one may study that which is strikingly all-saturating. Varied currents, rays, and
chemisms pass through masses of beings, but psychic energy not only does not retard them, but
transmits them farther. When we speak of the most pure air, even about the purest Prana, we
nevertheless presuppose all-containment, and in this containment various tensions. Picturing such
physical saturation will aid the realization of Higher Worlds. Actually, everything is alive, and
everything manifests the same energy. In this primitive position rests also the possibility of
transmutation of everything existing. Death becomes a transposition and life becomes
unavoidable cooperation. The very approach to the Fiery World is application of conformable
qualities. It is sad to see how people limit themselves and try to destroy the universe. Perhaps
overproduction, competition, and distortion of the meaning of life will bring humanity into a
blind alley, and then it will be obliged to stop and think. Because, by setting aside all limitations
the recognition of the Higher Worlds will come along. Calling to the Fiery World, we must have
recourse to comparison with micro-organisms, and thus impel people to think about a saturation
with the uninterrupted life. Indeed it is easier to think with the heart, above all micro-organisms.
It is necessary to summon to such a solution.
141. It may be observed how furiously people are now objecting to the concept of Leader, and at
the same time they are ardently awaiting him. It is instructive to observe the disunity of the
31
processes of brain and heart. The brain follows the conventional thinking and repeats sing-song
formulas. But the heart, even though it be weak and unbalanced, preserves grains of Truth. Where
the brain finds strength in negation, the heart, though timid, still is atremor with joy at the
nearness of the manifestation of a solution. People who raise objections against a constructive
move usually have nothing to propose in its stead. Indeed, such objectors are among the first to
follow a Leader. They will whisper about disagreement, but willingly and precisely will they
carry out a Command. Not because of their slavish nature will they accept Hierarchy, but due to
the labor of their hearts. This means that in a moment of danger it is necessary to maintain
equilibrium around a strong authority. Therefore let the Leader not be confused by these phantom
voices.
142. Why so many tests, if the heart can create spiritual transformation? The answer is simple-the
heart has been neglected and not applied to life. Thus many people must improve their
consciousnesses in trial. When you hire servants, you either test them by designating a task, or
you trust them after looking into their eyes. Thus, too, the heart can flash out convincingly in a
