🍀 For those WHO DESIRE TO ENTER WITHIN - For DISCIPLES 🍀

CHAPTER 3 - THE FIRST RULE
🌻 KILL OUT AMBITION - 4 🌻
101. Most of us have desires of that sort, but we call them aspirations; the change of name seems to connote a total change in our attitude, but of course they are still desires. We shall reach a stage when even those desires will disappear, because we shall be absolutely certain that progress depends on our own efforts only; then we shall no longer desire anything.
The Master once said: “Do not desire a thing; desire is feeble Will!”1 (1 Vol. I, Part V, Ch. 1: Liberation, Nirvana and Moksha.) Do not think of some quality you want to develop: “I should like to have it,” but say: “I will have it,” and go and develop it. That is the only line for a man to take, because these things are absolutely in his own hands to do or not, as he chooses.
102. It is a case of transmuting at first. The desire for spiritual growth is a thing that those who are approaching the Path should no longer be encouraging in themselves, but there is that intermediate stage when it is very natural. We who are students ought to be getting to a stage at which we take our spiritual growth for granted, and fix all our energies on trying to help others.
At first a man does need a personal motive; then he gradually comes to forget himself and to make his advancement for the sake of the Master, for the sake of pleasing Him, and eventually he learns that he is simply a channel for the great divine forces, and that he must be a good channel and must have no anxiety whatever about the result.
His one care then is that nothing on his part shall hinder his being an expression of the Divine – as perfect an expression as is possible for him. He does not worry in the least about it; he does not desire that his force may be used in this direction or that; he is simply a tool in the hands of God, that he may be used as arid how and where God wills.
103. Of course, we can attain that attitude only by degrees; but we should set it before ourselves as the state of mind at which we should aim. We must begin by forgetting ourselves, by rigorously weeding the self out.
What if we are not gaining the advancement which we think to be due to us after so many years of thought and study, or what if the people whom we help are not grateful for being helped – generally they are not – all that does not matter.1 (1 Vol. I, Part III, Ch. 2: The One Good Desire.)
Let us forget ourselves and do the work and let us be entirely indifferent as to any return. Karma will look after that; we need have no fear. The great laws of the universe are not going to be altered in order to do an injustice to any one of us, we may be quite sure. They will work with equal balance; justly they work, even though it be after many days.
Forget yourself; that is the first and the last word of advice on the occult Path – there is no other way. However hard it may seem it has to be done, and has to be done perfectly.
