Benevolence
An aspect of the magnet of the Heart of Hierarchy and the Teachings of Light. Exoterically, kindness and charity.
The heart that has consecrated itself to righteousness radiates benevolence continuously, independently of the volitional sendings. Similarly, the sun’s rays are not sent with premeditation. The heart that has pledged itself to evil will thrust out arrows consciously, unconsciously, and continuously. The heart of goodness sows about itself health, smiles, and spiritual bliss. The heart of evil destroys warmth and, like a vampire, sucks out the vital strength. Thus, the activity of hearts, good and evil, is unceasing. (H, 63)
Each righteous attempt helps the cause.
It is necessary to send the arrows through Me or directly,
but the aim must be benevolent.
Arrows may be aimed even at a rogue.
For the sake of My Cause thou mayest be insistent,
but without anger,
spreading the creative force of benevolence.
Wrath begets wrath, but My children
can extinguish the red flame with the blue ray.
With the power of the blue ray canst thou erect a temple,
but the red cloud will blight the noblest tendrils
of thy soul. (LMG I, 132)
In human hands benevolence is like the evening lamp. Darkness falls, but the lamp is ready and an experienced hand is there to light it. But again I say—praise each good deed, it is a manifestation of generosity. Let each spark of good be blown into a flame. Though good be accidental to a great extent, it still is good. It would be too much to demand always a conscious good action; let the darkness be dispersed, even by dim lights. Even with one spark of light, absolute darkness will no longer be such. Behind the thought, word, or deed, Light is already standing. Thus, he who knows how to find a spark of Light is already an illumined co-worker. (FW I, 193)
