(130) Inquire after the health of Miss .........., send her my greeting
and say: “Many ideas rise up in the human mind; some of them concern truth
and some untruth. Among such ideas those which owe their source to the
Light of Truth will be realized in the outward world; while others of a
different origin vanish, come and go like waves on the sea of imagination
and find no realization in the world of existence.
“Similarly, numerous, various meetings and assemblages have been organized
during the past ages and bygone centuries. All these produced no result
except those assemblages which rendered unmixed service to the Light of
Truth; from such assemblages alone great results were realized in the
world of existence.
“For instance, consider how many a thousand assemblages—religious,
political and literary—have been organized in India, Persia, Turkestan,
Chinese countries and, in a word, in every part of Asia. All these gave no
result except that assemblage of the disciples of Christ on the mount
fifty days after Christ’s ascension. all that hath since been effected
along the line of diffusing the holy fragrances of Christ, uplifting the
Word of God, spreading the Gospel, training souls and guiding the people,
hath been wholly from the result of the effects produced by that
assemblage of the disciples. Those effects are continual even in the
present time.
“Consequently, if one looks for praiseworthy results and wishes to produce
eternal effects, let him make exceeding effort, in order that Green Acre
may become an assemblage for the Word of God and a gathering place for the
spiritual ones of the heavenly world.
“The moldered, two-thousand-years-old superstitions of the heedless,
ignorant peoples, whether of Asia or Europe, should not be spread in that
revered gathering place; for, if such be the case, let it be known for
certain that that assemblage will yield no result and will, before long,
be forgotten and consigned to oblivion, similar to other meetings of
bygone times.
“I beg of God that that esteemed maid-servant of God shall be the cause of
spreading the Cause of God, so that the Light of Truth may shine and the
world be illumined.
“When you reflect attentively, you will find that the Word is what we have
hereby said and that all else save this is pure imagination, is of no
stability and is evanescent.
“The tree must have roots in order to yield fruit. The trees of the forest
of Asia have yielded no fruit for thousands of years, except the blessed
Trees of the Divine Manifestations, for each one of these Trees hath so
developed and flourished that it hath trained and nourished the whole
earth with fruits and yields.”
“O thou beloved maid-servant of God!...”
O thou beloved maid-servant of God!
What thou hast written was considered. It indicated purity of heart and
advancement toward God.
