powerful means at its disposal. It is the Force itself, it is this
Power which is your individual effort.
And so, you see, the first movement of vital self-conceit
when it is told, “You don’t exist in yourself”, naturally it says,
“All right, I won’t do anything any more! I am not the one
who works, so I won’t work any longer” and “Very good, the
Divine can do everything, it is his business, I won’t stir any
more. If the credit does not go to me”— it comes to that — “I
won’t do anything any more.” Well! But indeed there’s no
word for such things. This is something I constantly hear, it
is simply a way of venting one’s offended self-conceit, that’s
all. But the true reaction, the pure reaction is an enthusiastic
impulse of collaboration, to play the game with all the en-
ergy, the willpower at the disposal of one’s consciousness,
in the state one is in, with the feeling of being supported,
carried by something infinitely greater than oneself, which
makes no mistakes, something which protects you and at the
same time gives you all the necessary strength and uses you
as the best instrument. And one feels that, and one feels one
is working in security, that one can no longer make any mis-
takes, that what one does is done with the utmost result and
— in delight. That is the true movement; to feel that one’s will
is intensified to the utmost because it is no longer a tiny little
microscopic person in infinity but an infinite universal Power
which makes you act: the Force of Truth. This is the only true
reaction.
