REALIZATION OF MAN'S ASPIRATIONS

Once the Master told us:

"Should a person who is ill tells you, 'I shall not die; I shall live for an additional fifty years that I might complete the work for which I came to earth' - he has addressed his task rightly and will prove himself to be fruitful. You ask, 'Is this possible?' Everything is possible for the one who comprehends the Laws. However, for the one who does not comprehend them, everything is obstructed.

"Something happens to you, and you ask, 'Why did this happen to me?' Because you dwelled upon it.

"When a person desires that his aspirations be brought to realization, he must focus his thought. A strong concentration is necessary for solving the great assignments of life. By focusing your thought, you will draw the thoughts of all similar minds. In such a way, your thought becomes the focus of the thoughts of all who think as you do. This is the way in which great ideas manifest. Every great idea - even the one that is born out of the mind of a single person - is collective. Many minds have focused their attention on this thought before it becomes manifest in a man of genius.

"Someone aspires to something - to become a musician, a poet or some other thing - and yet, he becomes discouraged. If a person aspires to fill his life with Divine Thought, he must begin to work on himself today that he may be prepared. However, a time limit should not be placed upon this. That which man cannot accomplish today, can be accomplished tomorrow. Opportunities will be greater in the future than they are at present.

"Do not feel discouraged when your aspirations are not brought to realization immediately: they might become realized ten years from now. Conversely, an entire lifetime might pass without realization. When you aspire towards something, you must be willing - at the same time -to work for it. Always be assured that you are being supported by the Intelligent Nature.

"The Law states: rejoice when a person realizes his aspirations that you may realize yours as well.

"Should a person desire to realize his aspirations, he must come to understand the Divine Plan for Life Eternal which God has already set in motion. When you walk on the Divine Path, all your aspirations will be realized."
