Inner Meanings of the Great Invocation

The Great Invocation is not only a sketch of the Plan but also a means of redemption.

The first three verses of the Invocation of refer to
a.Transmutation
b. Transformation
c. Transfiguration

The fourth verse refers to
d.Joy

and the fifth verse refers to
e.Blessing

In Transmutation,the fire of the Mind is  evoked."Let Light descend on Earth"(physical etheric Earth)
In Transformation,the Love of the Great Soul is invoked , "May Christ return to Earth"
The Earth here refers to the astral and physical planes ,where the activity of Christ will be concentrated.We know that "Aquarian" energy will bring a potent transformation in the "watery" realm of the astral plane. We also know that ,He is the "Forerunner of the Aquarian Age"
and "the dispenser of the Water of Life".
In Transfiguration,the fire of the Triad is released. This corresponds to the third verse of the "Great Invocation".
"Let purpose guide the little wills of Men".The "wills" of the physical,emotional and mental bodies are suspended by the will of the Triad.We know that the purpose of the microcosm ia contacted after the Third Initiation or after Transfiguration.
The fourth verse of the Great Invocation refers to JOY.Joy is an agent of redemption and makes "the Plan of Love and Light work out".As the Plan works out, the joy increases,because the Plan and Joy are from the same substance, the same energy.
The last verse of the Great Invocation refers to the energy and the technique of blessing. The restoration of the Plan is the culmnation of the energy of blessing. "Let light and love and power restore the Plan on Earth".Blessing is the radiation of Light,of Love,of Power towards the Earth-the physical Earth,the emotional Earth and the mental Earth.

Testing the Heart -Agni Yoga

Laws have been set down against many crimes, but one must also have the code of the heart. One must sow good with each glance of the eye and each touch. And the heart will grow in this exercise of the good.
You see, of course, that the action of the heart is not so greatly due to heat as to currents. And  the test by the smallest manifestations can be accessible to the refined heart.There are many Forms of betrayal. The refined heart is especiall sensitive to this abomination.

Do not poke your nose into someone's affairs

Develop the ability to resist your nosiness in the personal affairs of others or from their private lives. People may come and talk to you about their private life for advice. As soon as you understand their problem,you do not need to know the details. Speak to them about principles and how to abide in principles. If hatred is involved, you do not need to hear all the forms and expressions of hatred . Speak about then necessity of love,respect, Compassion and understanding.
People may come to you to justify their attitudes or position. Do not justify them or condemn them; speak about principles and let them try to appropriate their lives to these principles.
If they are ugly,emphasize beauty. If they are full of ill-will , emphasize good will. If they are full of lies, emphasize the necessity for truth without taking any side because you cannot be one- sided.
You must never put your nose in the personal lives of others and in their private affairs. If you suspect that someone is really dangerous,you cab report to the authorities. Beyond this, you must respect the freedom of others.
Nosiness leads you to totalitarianism, involves you in the problem of others , and awakens in you the spirit of using others for your selfish interests.
A spiritual leader must impress the minds of people around him with the idea that he is interested in their soul and Not personality life. This does not mean that people must have a double nature- a soul nature and a personality nature apart from each other.  It means that the spiritual leader is not interested in the sexual problems,financial problems, housing and eating problems or social problems of his people,but he is interested in how to raise the consciousness of his people to higher levels of values and principles and make them able to live according to the contacted values and principles.
