362. At dawn We shall unfurl Our Banners. 363. The pure spirit brings on the hour of worship, gathering the scattered spiritual particles. Not quickly does a fallen spirit arise from the dust. It is necessary to extend a hand to all who are sinking. the flaming smile withers not because its warmth is divine. 364. I proclaim you My Own. Do not call again to those who have shown their ignorance. On every crossroad new ones await. When you enter and commence the tower life, measure the foundation and encircle the rock under it. Remember, remember, remember what I told. 365. Do not destroy people by overconfiding in them. 367. The divine voice overshadows all when there is spiritual readiness. 368. The atomic pulse creates an energy combination easily expressed in formula. I speak of dust as it may penetrate deeply to serve as a glove for the enemy's hand. 369-70. Chiefly, remember the Lotus of Trust both day and night. The earth clamor is shocking to spiritual growth. Consider how often Christ withdrew into solitude. 371. If you fear, give it Me. If you doubt, give it Me. If you are angry, give Me the anger. These trivialities I recast in My Tower. For you the path of Light. Approach before sunrise. 373. Though the horseman spur his steed, yet wings carry him more speedily. 374. Filled to the brim are the chalices of the Archangels. Hallowed be the Name of the Lord! 375. When I say act, exhaust all resources of action. When I say silence, seek all means of silence. Act thru silence. 376. The best remedy and weapon is your realization of Our Care. Being affirmed by unity with Us, proceed invincibly. For you each fallen wall is only the pathway of Light. 377. I show My shield to him on the way, to one smiting all selfishness, to one keeping the cycles, to one sensing service, to one covering his tent with My Name, to one who bears his shield high. Do not transgress My Will nor turn away nor rend achievement's web. 378. The lawful beginning of the work is with children, who have confidence. 379. Reflect, reason and spread the nets. 380. Evening is a time to tender one's gift, morning is the hour of cognition. 381. Thou gave me Thy Benevolence to safeguard, showing me how; teach me the return also. 382. Many are called to the knowledge, to few are opened the secrets of Our decisions. Chiefly, beware of treason and lightmindedness. Out of levity is born treason. 383. The appearance of doubt destroys one's armament. Each shaky stone unsteadies the tower. 384. Launched is the hour of understanding the scroll of testimony. Manifested is the Archangel wing with its inscription of Peace. 385. People madly rush about, not knowing the unfolding. Revealed is an abyss of new transgressions. To the fool the hour is an empty one, but grave it is for those discerning the Light. 386. Develop the will, bowstring of consciousness. 388. Not with hymns nor by exultation await Me, but by strengthening your labor in My Name. In the morning repeat 7 words: Help us lest we pass Thy Labor. 389. Not the factory but the spirit's workshop renovates the world. Like wallpaper pasted on by people, that which has closed up life's pores will be swept away in a torrent of stern benevolence. 390. The proofs of labor? Speed, decisiveness and self-sacrifice. Ask yourself in the morning what you can add to the entrusted work that My Name should permeate all your work as affirmation. Read and comprehend more closely My Teaching without losing the given cycles. My Hand be with you. 391. I offer you My Hand and I shall conduct you scatheless. It is shameful not to perceive the outline of life's newness; it is shameful to trail at the gallow's rope-end. Let the fresh sun shine in the window! 392. The tail of disobedience stretches a long way behind. 394. The world is one in consonance of spirit. Immersed in harmony the spirit sings the song of all hearts; therefore, rejoice as you sense it. 395. Respect Hierarchy. In brotherhood great and small all action is given thru the most evolved, originating in One Source. Tis better that under My Hand you yourself string from the soul a necklace of pearls, yourself matching their size and value. Look for the new ones, appointed and directed; neglect not their knocks. 396. One should treasure every hour of My Work; grope and find the doorway of Light. 397-8. Muster all resourcefulness and avoid wasting energy. Choose in all between a fire of anger and the purifying flame of spirit's uprightness. 400-1. The spirit burdened with wickedness cannot rise. The manifestation of unity vanquishes hordes. 403. When the great path has been designated, one must carefully avoid deviations. 404. Each by himself, each in his own way, yet all of one spirit in the endeavor not to spill the chalice. As one labors for mankind, one must adapt, because oppressive is people's breathing. 405. This book will give joy to many. 406. The world is not uplifted by telephone. 409. One need not expend energy twice where the stroke has been prepared. 413. Speak not evil and do not curse. 414. It is essential to be lenient to beginner's mistakes. 415. Avoid places where anger and disunity are displayed. Learn to pass above the hands that drag one downward. 416. What is let slip by will not return. 419. Now proceed like elephants, knowing that rays of love and care are above you. 421. Often the hand is outstretched but the blind try to reject it. Therefore, to suppress the conception of children is worse than murder. It is not right to pile up a complex of one's own wishes. Not necessary are countless speculations and designations-- the spirit proceeds freely. In quiet, in beauty and with a smile await those new ones seeking entry into the world. 424. At present one encounters four types of people: the first endeavors neath Our shield; the second endeavors in minor strategy yet already is overcoming the karma stream; the third raves wildly, blinded by the dark veil of karma; the fourth comprises the Light's enemies. The first understands your call; the second quivers in expectancy; the third stupidly turns head away; the fourth answers you arrow for arrow. The entire city of the enemy is covered by the cupola of Our Brotherhood, for this dome covers all. 430. I teach you to display Our Triumph to alien and petty hearts. I hold in purity a wondrous cross above you. 431. The ascent of courage forces alien auras downward with purple arrows. The heart's blue flame smites the smoke of weariness. 435. I ask you to burden Me, for not otherwise is the garden of beauty reached. 436. Smile at each belittlement. 437. Mastery is confirmed by realization of victory over self. 443. Leave to the enemy the crimson ardor, closer to Us are the diamonds of the peaks. 446. I have revealed the pathway. Let the guiding, safeguarding Hand ever be remembered. 448. Wisely We turn all to good. 449. I perceive that one can expect a rapid sprouting of the New World's life. 451. He finds the sooner who knows how to conceal. One can quiet a wave only by a timely outpouring of oil. 452. When a maiden strives evenings and nights to bring good to the world and dreams of the ineffably beauteous--is this remote from life? You who can see, to you I give--add a drop of My Task in the draught: dip into the wine of knowledge the bread of achievement, giving nourishment to those approaching. Joyously ascend the new step of cycles..................I send a living spring to bathe eye and ear............... They will ask you how to traverse life. Answer: Like crossing an abyss upon taut string-- beautifully, carefully, fleetly. editor's note: Leaves of Morya's Garden I (The Call), 1924, was the first volume of the Agni Yoga Series published by The Agni Yoga Society of NYC.
