Take these two ideas for your month's work.

Remember your soul—

The divine part of you is one with God. 

Your personality and your physical conditions in the world are one with all humanity. 

You are not here for your own salvation wholly, but equally to uplift and bless and help all humanity. 

Therefore, take these two ideas for concentration, and try your best to fix your thoughts upon them—

That is, take the two ideas for your month's work. 

For a long time if necessary you may repeat them just as words, but never fail to do it.

Repeat them thrice daily at least, and as often as you feel the call to do so in the course of the day. 

But later on, you will find that you do not have to repeat them as words, for something of their true meaning has sunk into your heart. 

And when this occurs, strive to live them, instead of saying them.

First, say to yourself—

I am a child of God—

One with my Father. 

My divine Mother is Love. 

My divine life is the Christ. 

I am one with all this—

I can—and must—draw my thought-force from this source.

The second is—

Since I am a child of the Godhead, I have come into this physical world to work out certain things both in myself and in the world. 

I can only do this by my realisation of my oneness with my Father-Mother, and also my oneness with all my brothers and sisters in the world.
