What do enlightened beings do?

You often fail to recognise the prominent part that small things play in the affairs of the world, but they all have their uses and their niche in the work of evolution. Spoken words lightly uttered, careless actions, many passing thoughts bring results undreamed of.

There is no such thing as chance or luck, though the world thinks so. Nothing happens without a reason or a cause either in material or spiritual matters.

You need to become more alive to the seriousness of your life in the physical body. Not that He wishes you to go about with a long face, quite the reverse—

God wants you to realise more fully that this world is a serious place to live in because of its effect on your position in the next life—the one immediately following this.

Some people think that all their mistakes in earth life will be wiped out immediately they leave the physical body if they have confessed their misdoings to a priest very shortly before. They will not—the sooner you rid yourself of that mischievous doctrine, the better for you.

This life on earth is only a preparation for the fuller life in the spiritual, but on that preparation depends your future happiness or unhappiness.

It cannot be brought home too strongly—or too practically that you should do more with the opportunities given to you while still alive.

Life on earth has for its object the forming of character—character is only thing that counts in spiritual life.

Steady performance of all duties, rigid watch over thoughts, words and actions, sympathy with less fortunate egos, strong affection for those with whom you are bound by ties of blood or attachment, forgetfulness of self in remembrance of others—

The common daily goal of every enlightened ego.
