THE GURU AND THE CHELA
By the Ascended Master
Kuthumi
CHELA:
Beloved Master: To create an interest in the current endeavors of the Masters is
my desire. How best may I do this?
GURU:
Blessed chela: Thank you for desiring to
awaken an interest in our endeavors. It is gratifying indeed to have members of
the human race even accept us intellectually.
When they desire to further our interests, we
are pleased indeed. My answer is BY EXAMPLE
shall you become of value to our Cause.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: Please explain what you mean in the phrase
BY
EXAMPLE.
GURU:
Blessed chela: The world is old. Millions of years has it proceeded, together
with the other planets, in its rhythmic circling of the sun. In all these years,
many, many words have been spoken and written. Some words have entered deeply
into the consciousness of men, but these words were spoken or written by those
whose
individual
lives manifested the truth within those words.
The Master Jesus is such an EXAMPLE of manifest works which accompanied
his magnificent explanations of the
Spiritual
Law.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: How many those of us who do desire to be such an EXAMPLE in your
names achieve our purpose?
GURU:
Blessed
chela: The desire to be such an EXAMPLE is the motivation
which will manifest the truth through your consciousness. The acceptance
or
the responsibility of
giving forth The Law brings the personal obligation to the teacher of becoming
the embodied proof of that Law. The acceptance of the tenets of the Law anchors
the responsibility to become the embodied proof of that Law into the world of
the student. Those who teach and those who learn should be counseled that each
portion of the Law which enters the consciousness should be accepted in humility
and nourished in love. The appetite for more "knowledge" before the already
received knowledge is assimilated brings an obligatory karma to the soul. One
simple expression of the Law - LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS I HAVE LOVED YOU would
suffice to bring the individual consciousness to the Ascension, if this were
applied through the personal self.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: Would you then suggest we refrain from endeavoring to spread
"The Word" until we are Masters of energy and vibration?
GURU:
Blessed chela: No, because as you learn and apply the Law yourself, your
invested energies may plant seeds into a consciousness which will far surpass
your own capacity to embody and externalize truth. Thus, you become a "conductor"
according to your own light. However, in all your casting of the
spiritual seed forth,
neglect not the truth that the Law must be embodied in your own nature.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: The EXAMPLE of which you speak should it be as nearly like you as our
consciousness can conceive possible?
GURU:
Blessed chela: Any Ascended Master becomes a pattern for your own thoughts,
feelings, spoken words and actions. The majority of the human race in this
Western world are most familiar with the Beloved Master Jesus. His EXAMPLE
and pattern of living has formed the
design and measure for many sincere lifestreams who have chosen to embody truth.
The imitation of the Christ has transmuted the base in many men and is
recommended as the simplest of spiritual exercises for development of the
Divinity.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: To measure every thought, feeling, spoken word, and action by
the living Presence of Jesus, then, is your recommendation for becoming the
EXAMPLE which will lead others to interest in your Brotherhood?
GURU:
Blessed chela: The old and timeworn phrase "actions speak louder than words"
holds true for the exponent of Spiritual Law. Where a man or woman is found who
is anchored in personal peace, harmony, health, supply, and spiritual
tranquility, mankind like moths around a flame, with gather for the
key
to the mystery of happiness in this world of distress.
CHELA:
Beloved Master: True Divine Love, then, requires that we transform and change
our personal natures in order to attract the attention of mankind and open them
to inquiry as to your Service.
GURU:
Blessed
chela: Such love is the proof of the professed fidelity of the soul. Upon these
few in every age we rely to reach the masses.

MEDITATIONS
The God Consciousness of my true identity is "I
AM."
I am at last
at one with that consciousness
and "I am" free!
I turn my face unto the Sun of my being and
behold my Father-Mother God smiling at me in shadowless LIGHT.
Within the shadowless Light of my God Self, no
sickness, disease, doubt, fear or grief can abide. "I AM" that Light, and "I AM"
free.
