CHAPTER 7 - THE 13th RULE

🌻 13. Desire power ardently. - 3 🌻

339. All the problems of life which seem complex, if not incomprehensible, down here, become far simpler when looked at from a higher plane. The same thing is true of much lower levels.

When one examines microscopic creatures such as live in a drop of water one finds complex and beautiful forms of life. The further one goes into these infinitely small matters the more one discovers their amazing complexity.

One wonders how even to the Deity Himself these worlds could possibly be a, simple thing, and yet they are, for when we look from even such higher points of view as we are able to gain, we can see that it is the permutations and combinations of the seven forces of the One Life which produce all these wonderful results.

The factors involved in the production are few and simple; therefore the higher one rises the more one can understand, and that which down here seems impossible to grasp proves quite within reach when viewed from higher levels.

340. We may reverently and reasonably assume, I think, that the Logos can hold the whole of His system simultaneously in His mind, and without any difficulty see what is being done in every remotest ramification of it. The whole system in all its multiplicity must be immediately self-evident – something one could put down on a sheet of foolscap, as it were.

To the Manu and Bodhi-sattva the work of moulding and guiding the races of men, which seems to us so complex and even confused, must be quite clear and straightforward.

341. Our business is to serve the Master in our small sphere. The detail is our care, not His. What He wants is that the whole work shall go well, and anything that we can do to make it do so is our share in it.

Those who stand nearer to Him in thought and have by such association grown somewhat into His attitude in regard to it, are always eager to do anything, however simple, which may seem of use.

We can write a little letter, perhaps, which will change the current of a man’s life, or we may deliver a lecture and try to change the opinion of some hundreds of people, and not succeed; the little letter is just as real a piece of work.

There may be some of us who are so busy that we cannot do anything personally. In that case we are probably earning money, and so perhaps we could give some money to enable others to do that work.

There are a great many little ways in which every one can work. It is no use waiting for a big opportunity with the idea that when it comes we shall be ready to take it. We are very much more likely to be ready if we get ourselves into the habit of always doing the little things that we can do now.
