Language of the Heart

So much has been said about the language of the heart, yet for the majority of people it remains an inapplicable abstraction. Let us not insist on the highest forms of this means of communication; rather, let us try to master the basics, which ought to be revealed immediately without requiring any special preparation. The first and foremost purpose of every language is mutual comprehension, which means that you should try not only to understand the person with whom you are talking but also to speak in a way that is clear to him. To do this, acquire the ability to speak in your companion’s language. Speak with his words in the way that he speaks; that is the only way he will remember and accept your thought into his consciousness. So we shall learn to accommodate the words of the person with whom we are talking, and imperceptibly we shall go beyond words to the very nature of his thinking. The highest form of communication will be the grasping of thought without sound.

Condition required for Healing

t has generally been surmised that the main prerequisite to the art of healing is faith. But this is not so. Faith has little to do with it. Healing is dependent upon certain vital and basic factors into which faith enters not at all. The effort of the patient to achieve faith is frequently a great detriment to his freedom from the difficulties which lie between him and complete healing. When Christ so frequently emphasised faith (or rather that quality which is translated as faith in our Western Scriptures) He referred in reality to acceptance of law, to a recognition above all of karma, and to a knowledge of divine destiny. This, if grasped, will bring about a new attitude both to God and to circumstance. The prerequisites which I would like to emphasize might be enumerated as follows:

1. A recognition of the great Law of Cause and Effect, if possible. This is not always possible when dealing with the totally unenlightened.

2. Correct diagnosis of the disease by a competent physician, and later by a spiritual clairvoyant, when that capacity is developed by the initiate healer.

3. A belief in the law of immediate Karma. By that I mean an ability on the part of the patient or of the healer to know whether it is the destiny of the patient to be healed or else be helped to make the great transition.

4. A willingness to recognize that healing might be detrimental and basically undesirable from the standpoint of the soul. People are sometimes healed by the potency of the healer when it is not their destiny to resume active physical plane living.

5. The active cooperation of healer and patient—a cooperation based upon mutual understanding.

6. A determined acquiescence on the part of the patient to accept whatever may be the demonstrated will of the soul. It might be called an expression of divine indifference.

7. An effort upon the part of both healer and patient to express complete harmlessness. The value of this will repay careful thought. This has basically a reference to the relation of both parties to their associates.

8. An effort on the part of the patient (unless too ill) to adjust and put right those aspects of the nature and those characteristics which might militate against the right spiritual perception. This is one of the meanings hidden in the phrase, the "work of restitution," though not the most important meaning.

9. The deliberate eliminating of qualities, lines of thought and of desires which could hinder the inflow of spiritual force—a force which might integrate the soul more closely with the body in the three worlds and inaugurate a renewed life-expression, or which might integrate the soul with its emanating source and initiate renewed life on soul levels. This, therefore, affects the relation of the patient to his soul.

10. The capacity of both healer and patient to integrate into the soul group with which they are subjectively affiliated, to integrate in other cases both personality and soul, and, if they are at a needed point of development, both to integrate more closely into the Master's ashramic group.

These ten requirements may appear simple but are not so by any means. Superficially, they may appear to deal with character and quality and capacity; fundamentally, they concern the relation of soul and body, and deal with integration or abstraction.

Oversoming Revenge and Hatred

Feeling of revenge are another enemy within you.You must not think about revenge because in the process of taking revenge upon your enemy, you are creating worse conditions than before.Let karma take care of things.As God says in the Bible, "Revenge is Mine."A revengeful person day and night poisons his nature and eventually creates a heavy karma upon his shoulders.
Fear and revenge kill in you the opportunity to be a free person .It s very interesting to note that fear,revenge, and hatred are especially found in religious circles.Fear in religion is so widespread.Revenge is also alive and very active.Hatred is prevalent.One wonders whether a religious person can hope to achieve the ideal state promised by his religion if he does not absolutely destroy in his heart the seeds of fear,hatred, and revenge.

Working for the Master

The test that the Master gives here should be applied to all our work.Suppose you are writing a letter;if you knew that the Master would come and read it over, it would be very carefully written, both as to its contents and its form.Whatever your work is, it is His work, if it is the best you can do;whether it is something that the Master wants done for some immediate purpose , or something that prepares you for his future work.Everything is for Him,if we are His;it cannot be for anybody else.Make this your normal and continual attitude of mind, and you make the atmosphere in which one-pointedness can grow.
You will continue to hold this thought foremost in your minds all through the time that you are disciples;all have to make the habit,and when it is made they must go on strengthening it.That will help us to do with all our might whatever work we have.We must do it with our might because so it becomes part of the divine work, and because of the training of character it gives.Make your work quite true,allowing nothing second rate to pass.

Inner Reflection and Firm Resoution

INNER PURIFICATION OR CHARACTER BUILDING IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.Without inner purification or character building, the weaknesses of a person will become so magnified that the person becomes worse instead of better.Character building is done through INNER REFLECTION AND FIRM RESOLUTION. Inner reflection means reflecting on what one has done during the whole day.Firm resolution means to mentally erase the mistake done during the day, and to repeatedly imagine you are practicing right thoughts and emotion, right speech and right action.This has to be done repeatedly.

The key word is to REPEATEDLY imagine.The question is why?It is part of ancient teachings that:
a.Repeated good thoughts will inevitably manifest as good actions.
b.Repeated good actions will eventually manifest as a virtue.
