for an ordinary human being. Yet one must learn to act with-
out any preference, free from all attractions and likings, taking
one’s stand solely on the Truth which guides. And having cho-
sen in accordance with the Truth the necessary action, one must
carry it out without any desire.
If you observe yourself attentively, you will see that before
acting you need an inner impetus, something which pushes
you. In the ordinary man this impetus is generally desire. This
desire ought to be replaced by a clear, precise, constant vision
of the Truth.
Some call this the Voice of God or the Will of God. The true
meaning of these words has been falsified, so I prefer to speak
of “the Truth”, though this is but a very limited aspect of That
which we cannot name but which is the Source and the Goal
of all existence. I deliberately do not use the word God because
religions have given this name to an all-powerful being who is
other than his creation and outside it. This is not correct.
However, on the physical plane the difference is obvious.
For we are yet all that we no longer want to be, and He, He is all
that we want to become.
CWM 4: 1-2
Keep the will firm
Keep the will firm. Treat the recalcitrant parts as disobedi-
ent children. Act upon them constantly and patiently. Convince
them of their error.
In the depths of your consciousness is the psychic being,
the temple of the Divine within you. This is the centre round
which should come about the unification of all these divergent
parts, all these contradictory movements of your being. Once
you have got the consciousness of the psychic being and its
aspiration, these doubts and difficulties can be destroyed.
