CONDITIONS FOR ATTAINING TRUE KNOWLEDGE

During a talk the Master said:

"Knowledge and freedom are given according to the degree of Love. Only he who has attained Love in Her Fullness can have true Knowledge. When you connect with Love, you will receive the Divine Light. When Love visits you, you will attain the true Science. The mind must look through the eyes of Love.

"Do not deceive yourselves into thinking that you can be strong without Love. Someone says, 'Even without Love, I can obtain my wishes.' You can obtain nothing. Search through history for at least one great reformer or great Teacher who has achieved his goal without Love. He may have success temporarily; but all this will be destroyed, and no trace will remain of him. Power manifested without Love is doomed for ruin.

"If you love, your faith will become stronger. If you love, you may become a poet, an artist, a musician, a scientist, anything you wish. The conditions for growth and development are hidden within Love. The unrevealed endowments imparted to man can only blossom in Love. She gives vision. To be able to see into the spiritual world, one must be filled with Love.

"If you demonstrate even the smallest Love, the first sign which will show you that you have the Blessing of God is that something great will be revealed to you. If a man could express the smallest Divine Love, in a moment, a curtain would be lifted from in front of his sight and the Sublime Beings which live in the Realm of Love would become visible to him. They would smile at him and say, 'Walk on this Path! This is the Path on which we walk.' After that, the curtain would fall again. Can you become discouraged if every day the curtain lifts and you see all that which gives Life and meaning to all things?"
