| (vi) “Apply all your efforts. By your own hands will the power of the future be built. I will help, I will help, but add your own efforts.” † (vii) “How to start? Begin by dedicating yourself and all that you are and have been to the service of the world, to the service of your brothers and sisters everywhere. Make sure that not one day passes without some act of true service and be assured that My help will be yours. This, the Path of Service, is the only path for true men, for it is the path which leads them to God.” †† |
| (iii) “The most worthy labor is that performed with one's own hands. By labor do you unlock the Gates to the Land of your striving. Everything is possible, but remember that what has been promised will be manifested at the appointed time. Who aspires will attain.” * (iv) “Work - the path is open for work. Into your hands have been put the greatest possibilities. My crown be with you, for I gave the crown. Be vigilant. Expect Our Help at every moment.” ** (v) “Our Shield is forged by human hands. The manifested power will come through people. There is no need for angels to deafen the ears with trumpets when human hands are found able to accept the chalice.” *** |
