OUR DESTINY LIES IN OUR HANDS! (PART VII)


CONCLUSION

I wish to conclude with the words of the Grail Message which says: 

Therefore adjust yourselves now and at last to the perfection of the harmony of Creation, then you will find peace and success! 

So, we who are desirous of a beautiful destiny of success, peace and pure happiness need to understand that this can only be achieved by adjusting ourselves to the harmony of Creation which lies in obedience to the Laws of Creation. 

It is positive to strive for excellence and success in life. It is also good to have a high aim and high goals for what is good in the material and spiritual sense. 

In setting our earthly goals, let us steer clear of self-aggrandizement, crass materialistic ambition and vanity. It is no gain in the true sense of it for any person just because he or she has been proclaimed by some beauty pageant judges as the most beautiful person in the world, or that he can “knockout” a fellow human being in a boxing ring or that his private jet is the most expensive one as of this year! Such “achievements” brings no blessing to humanity, no progress, and no gain for anyone’s existence in this Creation, but only encourages such persons to fritter away their time upon earth. 

Instead, our priority even in setting our earthly goals should be to consider that which helps in our spiritual ascent, furthers Creation in which we are permitted to live and improves the lives of our fellow men. Thus the Grail Message says: 

“One goal must henceforth dominate every man – to recognise and also to fulfil the place he, as a human being, must occupy in Creation!” 

We are constantly advised in the Message to have goals which are high, noble, good and ideal. We are to have a spiritual aim, high goals for eternity, look upwards and ascend. Also, an ideal aim and prayer is to plead for strength finally to pull ourselves together for permanent improvement, humbly strive to throw off all former stubbornness, and joyfully greet the Word of Truth from the Light as redemption! 

With regards to spiritual goals therefore, our resolution or firm decision will be well directed if it is focused on the observance of the Laws of God. Our lives and the years ahead will be blissful provided that we think upon God and His Will at all times! 

My prayerful wish for all of us is that we be granted the strength for this.
