| What is the most useful
work to be done at the present moment?
The general aim to be attained is the advent of
a progressing universal harmony.
The means for attaining this aim, in regard to
the earth, is the realisation of human unity through the awakening
in all and the manifestation by all of the inner Divinity which
is One.
In other words, to create unity by founding the
Kingdom of God which is within us all.
This, therefore, is the most useful work to be
done:
(1) For each individually, to be conscious in himself
of the Divine Presence and to identify himself with it.
(2) To individualise the states of being that were
never till now conscious in man and, by that, to put the earth in
connection with one or more of the fountains of universal force
that are still sealed to it.
(3) To speak again to the world the eternal word
under a new form adapted to its present mentality.
It will be the synthesis of all human knowledge.
(4) Collectively, to establish an ideal society
in a propitious spot for the flowering of the new race, the race
of the Sons of God.

The terrestrial transformation and harmonisation
can kern-.75pt be brought about by two processes which, though opposite
in appearance, must combine must act upon each other and complete
each other:
(1) Individual transformation, an inner development
leading to the union with the Divine Presence.
(2) Social transformation, the establishment of
an environment favourable to the flowering and growth of the individual.
Since the environment reacts upon the individual
and, on the other hand, the value of the environment depends upon
the value of the individual, the two works should proceed side by
side. But this can be done only through division of labour, and
that necessitates the formation of a group, hierarchised, if possible.
The action of the members of the group should be
threefold:
(1) To realise in oneself the ideal to be attained:
to become a perfect earthly representative of the first manifestation
of the Unthinkable in all its modes, attributes and qualities.
(2) To preach this ideal by word, but, above all,
by example, so as to find out all those who are ready to realise
it in their turn and to become also announcers of liberation.
(3) To found a typic society or reorganise those
that already exist.
*
For each individual also there is a twofold labour
to be done, simultaneously, each side of it helping and completing
the other:
(1) An inner development, a progressive union with
the Divine Light, sole condition in which man can be always in harmony
with the great stream of universal life.
(2) An external action which everyone has to choose
according to his capacities and personal preferences. He must find
his own place, the place which he alone can occupy in the general
concert, and he must give himself entirely to it, not forgetting
that he is playing only one note in the terrestrial symphony and
yet his note is indispensable to the harmony of the whole, and its
value depends upon its justness.
