CHAPTER 3 - THE FIRST RULE

🌻 KILL OUT AMBITION - Work as those work who are ambitious - 18 🌻

175. It may be only an illusion but it is a very powerful one – that high philosophical view that whether you get anything now or in a million years does not matter. I feel it matters to me; therefore I think it must matter to other people, and if we could get them to take the earlier opportunity of advancing, we should be doing a very great thing for them.

What difference it makes in the long run to the Logos in whom all this is moving, I cannot tell, but it is very likely His wish that we should evolve and if He wishes that to be done, then also He must wish that it should be done as soon as may be.

We are clearly carrying out His will if we try to press onward along the Path which leads to full unity with Him, and if we help others along that Path, so I cannot sea that it is all the same whether people enter the stream in this world period, or this chain period, or wait till the next. I shall do all I can to help people to enter it in this one.

176. Perhaps another test would be as to whether we are willing to take any work that is His work – whether we are willing to help high and low alike.

To Him there is neither high nor low in the matter of progress, though some part of His scheme may be at a higher and another part at a lower point in that progress. It is very much like the turning of a wheel; some part of it is approaching the top as it turns, but all of it alike is moving along as the wheel turns. Our work is to help the whole forward, to push any part of the wheel.

The life at all levels is the divine life; it is more unfolded at some stages than at others – more unfolded in the human than in the animal, in the animal than in the vegetable, in the vegetable than in the mineral – but the life is the divine life everywhere, and if we are helping forward any part of that we are helping the divine plan.

That which is higher or lower is the form in which the life is cast; the form permits- of greater or lesser unfoldment, but the life is one life. That certainly must be part of His point of view, which is very different from our outlook – the idea that all life is in reality the same; there is no high nor low from that point of view, because the whole is moving together.

That does not alter the fact that there may be some in whom the life is more unfolded, who are capable of giving greater assistance, and others who may be capable only of a lower grade of assistance; the point is that those who find that what they can do best would commonly be called lower work should not be in the least disheartened, because they also are pushing the same wheel – they are helping the unfoldment of the same divine life.

Continues...
