Teachings
The Teaching of Wisdom is not a textbook with numbered pages. The Teaching is the decree of life applied to each necessity. As lightning flashes wherever sufficient electricity has accumulated, so the command speeds to where possibility has gathered.
While affirming the common unity, the Teaching of Life must respond to each individuality. The Teaching provides a solution to the daily problems. Sometimes it seems that the Teaching returns to former themes. Comparing these directives, you see that they touch entirely different manifestations of life. The outer signs have no import. Men may become pale or blush for different reasons.
Let us broadly foresee the most prominent conditions of life, but let us leave details to the flow of karma. One can often change the main stream, whereas the details will carry the mark of a predetermined karma. Such details have no decisive significance, although people usually remember just those and judge accordingly. Similarly, one cannot expect from the missions and experiments a uniform application and flow. Evidence, again, means nothing.
... When We say, “Be unusual, and do not deprive yourself of the chalice of achievement,” We thereby indicate not to obscure your life and not to spill the chalice. I confirm how much is sent to you. Every particle understood and applied will give new life. Thus, observe the rain of possibilities and rejoice at the rainbow. (AY, 304)
One will ask why the Teaching is strewn like seeds. Answer that only out of a variety of threads can one create a complex pattern.
One will ask why the Teaching has no completed tenets. Answer that because in completeness there is death.
One will ask why the parts of the Teaching cannot be connected logically. Answer that it would be ugly to grow only a head or only a hand.
One will ask why there is not pronounced first the formula of Heaven and later the conjuration of the Earth. Answer that each thread of the garment of the Mother runs throughout, from the top to the bottom, and vice versa.
(LMG II, pp 94-95)
The Teaching is given in endless succession, for the purpose of affirmation of fiery revelations and the carrying out of highest laws, and, following the same principle as that governing magnetic poles, can be given only to a fiery spirit that has been aligned with Hierarchy for thousands of years. (FW III, 21)
Each one must find the key to the Teaching in his heart. Understanding of the universal Teaching can unfold the creativeness of the spirit. (INF I, 60)
