High Ideal - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

High ideal - the only means of overcoming our weaknesses Would you like to correct certain weaknesses in yourself and master some of your instinctive tendencies? You will succeed in doing so only if you develop the love of a high ideal. What is a high ideal? It is an aspiration to beauty, to that spiritual beauty made up of purity, light and harmony. In contemplating this beauty, you naturally and spontaneously disengage from all that is unhealthy, dark and chaotic. This love of beauty protects you, like a garment which you don’t want to soil. When you wear clothes that are new or special to you, you avoid activities in which they might be torn or stained. Instinctively you pay attention to your gestures and to where you sit. Well, there you are: if you decide to cultivate in yourself a taste for the world of beauty, and the desire to come closer to it, you will sense, little by little, that a kind of subtle garment is being woven around you that you will want to protect. In doing so, you yourself will be protected.  Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Man Has Chosen A Path Toward...A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Man has chosen a path toward human destruction and eventual annihilation of the species. It is never too late. Change can come in a millisecond and last for a thousand years if Man but realigns his intentions with that of both Nature plus that of the Divine.

Onthou Diegene Wat - 'n Aanhaling deur MN Hopkins

Onthou diegene wat groot opofferings gemaak het om te verhoed dat die lig van vryheid heeltemal uitgeblus word. 'n Lig wat nie net op een nasie skyn nie, maar 'n kollektiewe droom van die mensdom is en een wat verdof en helderder word volgens die onaktiwiteit of optrede van die mens.

Kim Olduğunu Hatırlayın - M.N. Hopkins'ten Bir Alıntı

Özgürlük ışığının tamamen sönmesini engellemek için büyük fedakarlıklarda bulunanları hatırlayın. Bu ışık sadece bir ulusun üzerinde parlamaz, insanlığın ortak rüyasıdır ve insanın eylemsizliğine ya da eylemlerine göre söner ya da parlar.

उनको याद रखें जो - एम.एन. हॉपकिंस का एक उद्धरण

उन लोगों को याद करें जिन्होंने स्वतंत्रता की रोशनी को पूरी तरह से बुझने से बचाने के लिए महान बलिदान दिए। एक ऐसा प्रकाश जो केवल एक राष्ट्र पर ही नहीं चमकता बल्कि मानव जाति का सामूहिक सपना है और जो मनुष्य की निष्क्रियता या कार्यों के अनुसार मंद और उज्ज्वल होता है।
