| Self-responsibility of student for totally complying with True Teaching 1.) The steps of approach to the True Teaching will indeed differ. 2.) There is so much attraction on the first steps, and much responsibility on the later steps! 3.) In the astral world, those with a half-developed consciousness do not strive upward. 4.) An ordinary level of consciousness is sufficient to spare them from suffering, but not enough to inspire acceptance of their duty for self-sacrificing work. |
| *4.) Ignorant people desire only the help that meets the needs of their own egotism [or false pride], and like those who are departing from a place, do not think of quality of labor [or selfless service] at all. *5.) Thus, only one who can take full self-responsibility, enable oneself to reach ‘flexibility of thought’. |
