| using 1t for all that is good. And that
control OF the mind is needed on the
! Path, for we must so shape our mind
| that II shall not be in any way shaken
or disturbed by anything that the outer

loss OF fortune, evil speaking, slander.
anything that causes trouble in the
world. There are the fruits of past
thoughts and desires and actions, the
karma of the past working out in the
action of the present. There is moth

are wearing out the evil karma OF the

You have no right to be depressed: IL

Then you must build up that great vir-

able to help, and you can only reach the
hearts Of men by sympathy when you

Then comes the second Dispassion, De-

TO be passing have small power to hold
back the man bent on going rapidly for
ward to Perfection.
But there are subtler desires that may
trip up the feet of the unwary traveller
There is the desire to see the results
of ones work. We work with all our
heart and all our powers; We build our
life into some project for the helping,
the uplifting, of men, Can you, without
pang, see your project crumblinE i'm
the dust, and the walls that you had
built for shelter break down as ruins at
your feet? If not, you are working for
results, and not purely for the love OF
humanity; for IL one has built ill instead
of well-though meaning weII-the great
Plan breaks the work into pieces, and
il is good. But the material is not lost
Every force put into il. every aspiration
is embodied, every effort made in order
to build it, are gaTnercd up as materials
for the raising more wisely of a greater
building, which shall be according to
the Plan of the great Overseer of the
universe. So we learn to work, but not
TO demand payment in results for our
labor, sure that what is good must last
and willing that what is evil shall be
broken.
Sometimes the desire for psychic DOW
ers attacks the disciple. "Oh, 1 could
be more useful II only 1 could see;
could help people so much more IL only 1
could remember what do when out of

wanted, the pupil or the Teacher? II
He Sees you can help better by possessing
them, He will open up the way and tell
you how to build them. But sometimes
the work is better done without them,

wants His disciples at that moment to
fulfill Leave to Him the time when
those powers shall flower; they are the
blossoms of the spiritua! nature, and
they will come to open maturity when
the great Gardener sees the time Is
come for the blessing.
Not only do We desire results: not
only do We desire psychic powers; but
still subtler desires assail us-the de-
sire to be looked up to. to be recog-
nized as shining, the desire to speak
and show our knowledge wherever we
can. Let that go, the Master bids us,
for silence is the mark of the Occult
ist. Speak when you have something
to say that is true, helpful, kind, but
otherwise speech is snare and a trap.
