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

CHAPTER 6 - THE 11th RULE
🌻 11. Desire only that which is unattainable. - It is unattainable, because it for ever recedes. You will enter the light, but you will never touch the Flame. - 1 🌻
328. C.W.L. – This does not mean that the higher life at which we aim is unattainable, but that when we have reached one height we always see another peak beyond.
We shall draw ever nearer and nearer to the Divine, becoming one with Him at level after level, but the Flame, His true consciousness, we shall never touch. There are many stages on the way, and they grow more and more indescribable in their beauty as we rise.
To whatever height we raise our consciousness, into whatever ineffable glories we can rise, we always see something more glorious still beyond. The Flame ever recedes. So far as any knowledge that we have goes, that chain of increasing glory and beauty is endless.
Perhaps it is not much use speculating upon that. The Lord Buddha said long ago that it was profitless to speak of the beginning and the end, because “Veil after veil will lift, but there must be veil after veil behind.”
329. I wish I could bring home to every one, as utterly and as vividly as I myself feel it, this absolute certainty of the progress that lies ahead, of its wonderful glory and beauty and power and wisdom and love, how from step to step it rises and becomes ever more and more indescribable down here, and more and more glorious and beautiful and true above.
The road to it lies through unselfishness. Only when we rise out of the lower self into the higher life, into the wider universal Self does the way open, and there is no limit to the glory and the splendour which man may then attain.
