Holy Master D.K. Quote

Offering of the Student

The student must be ready to bring his offering to his Teacher before he is admitted. This offering is not flowers, money, body, material articles but Higher Treasuries such as various TALENTS that can be used for the work; various inner ACHIEVEMENTS that profit the efforts of the Teacher; SILENCE and the control of speech which does not create disturbances in the aura of the Teacher and which can be used for service; various VIRTUES that can be used in the labor of the Teacher.
The student must be somebody. He must have something to offer. This is why he is left for a long time by himself. He must prove his sincerity, his aspiration, his willpower, his striving, his gratitude, his labor, and his service
-Torkom Saraydarian, Leadership-Volume 1

Currents of Thought

Thought is sometimes compared with the ocean--the comparison is plausible. Each man has three basic currents of thought. A superficial one--from the flesh, connected with muscular reflections, obvious in the external life. The second already concerns the heart, and contributes to improvement and progress in the subtle feelings. And finally, in the depths of the consciousness is being conceived the achievement of self-renunciation--here the Fiery World will be near. Each man can touch all Worlds; even in the routine of his everyday life he can choose the type of thinking he desires.

Thought

At times people are ready to admit the power of thought, but they do not apply this admission to themselves. They dream of great thoughts but will not discipline the small ones. They will ask how to transmute thought into action. One must begin by disciplining the smallest thoughts and then, only, create a thought that moves mountains. The advice about disciplining small thoughts is the inception of bringing health to the heart. Do not rely upon a variety of outer pranayamas. The path of Agni Yoga is through the heart, but the heart must be aided by disciplining thoughts. Disorderly thoughts are like vermin, they injure the subtle substance.
