IMMORTALITY

 

      Eternal youth: it is a gift the Divine gives us when we unite ourselves with Him.

 

      Forms are in perpetual transformation; identify yourself with the Immortal Consciousness and you will become It.

 

      Immortality is not a goal, it is not even a means. It will proceed naturally from the fact of living the Truth.

 

     Integral immortality: it is a promise. When will it be a material fact?

      Supramental immortality: it is an established fact, but few human beings have experienced it.

 

      Supramental immortality upon earth: this remains to be realised.

 

      Vital immortality: in its own field it exists but conditioned by surrender to the Divine.

 

      Aspiration for immortality: pure, aspiring, trusting.

 

      Physical aspiration for immortality: intense aspiration but ignorant of the means.

 

      Aspiration for integral immortality: an organised, tenacious and methodical development of consciousness.

 

      Attempt towards immortality: persistent and co-ordinated.

 THE NEW CREATION 

 

      Action is a narrowing of the consciousness in order to achieve a particular object. The creation of a new world is no exception to this rule.

 

      Realisation of the new creation: it is for this that we must prepare ourselves.

 

      Anything and everything can be an instrument for the Supreme Wisdom to prepare the earth in view of the new creation!

 

      Matter prepares itself to receive the supramental: matter tries to liberate itself from old habits to prepare for the new creation.

 

      Ideal of the new creation: the ideal must be progressive in order to realise itself in the future.

 

      Manifold power of the new creation: the new creation will be rich in possibilities.

      Charm of the new creation: the new creation is attractive for all those who want to progress.

 

      Beauty of the new creation: the new creation tries better to manifest the Divine.

 

      Usefulness of the new creation: a creation which aims at teaching men to surpass themselves.
