a.)  LMW: In Order To Evolve One's
Inner Consciousness—One Must Strive
To Cultivate And Embody: Higher
Principles And Qualities (Like Spiritual
Soul Nature Qualities)—Through Series
Of Self-Initiated Changes And
Adjustments—Towards Spiritual
Perfection**.

(  **  I:  But if he says, "I wish to perfect myself,"

Then ask, "What reward do you expect?"

He then should say,
"Only to come close to the Teaching."
(Signs of Agni Yoga (1929), 527.)

II:  “The Teaching offers perfection as the goal;
without this, it would have no future. The
Teaching pays no attention to personal comfort;
otherwise it would be egoism. …

“The Teaching is always self-denying, because it
knows the true meaning of the Common Good. …”
(Signs of Agni Yoga (1929), 404.)


III:  “Once egotism enters people, they slip from
the ideal and precipitate themselves from the top
of the stairs, in quick falls from step to step, down
to the very bottom floor.

“Egotism breeds schisms [divisions], hatreds,
and attachments. Through attachments and
affection, and even envy and hatred, one plunges
into activity and gets immersed in the world. This
leads to embodiment in the physical frame and
further egotism.
(  “In order to become free from the twin pulls of
pleasure and pain, one must rid oneself of the
body-consciousness and keep clear of self-
centred actions. This again involves the absence
of attachment and hatred. Desire is enemy number
one of liberation (moksha). Desire binds one to
the wheel of birth and death; it brings about
endless worry and tribulations.”
(Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Jnana Vahini)  )

b.)  When Inner Consciousness Changes—
The Physical Body (or Form Vehicle) Also
Changes—To Cope With The Higher And
More Refined Inner Consciousness!


15.)  As a wise man, Lao Tzu (or Lao-tse)
once said, we have to follow the flow (or
direction) of the river. *

“Once the whole is divided,
the parts need names.

“There are already enough names.

“One must know when to stop.

“Knowing when to stop averts trouble.

“Tao in the world is like a river flowing home
to the sea.” **
**  Tao Teh Ching, Feng-English translation, 32.
*  LMW: River is referring to Evolution—that we should never go
against or resist the most powerful flow of God-Willed:
Higher Evolution.
