In this concluding part, one wishes to bring to the fore, the
importance attached to thoughts by the author of the Grail Message. In seven lectures he called, exhorted
(encouraged), and even adjured us to do just one thing: keep out thoughts pure!
Produced here are quotations from the work In The Light of Truth, The Grail Message
and the title of the lectures concerned: -
1. ...I exhort you:
Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure, by so
doing you will bring peace and be happy!
--Awake
2. Therefore I once more urgently exhort you, seekers:
“Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure and
then, above all, exercise the great power of silence if you wish to ascend.”
--Silence
3. Do you now understand the value of my counsel to start exerting
yourselves with all your strength for what is good, and to keep your thoughts
pure? Not giving up, but pursuing this course with all your longing, all your
energy? It will uplift you! It will change you and your environment!
--Ascent
4. “Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure, by so doing you will bring peace
and be happy!”
--The First Step
5. The foundation for the upbuilding of a new humanity, which you cannot
and must not evade, rests in the one sentence: Keep the hearth of your
thoughts pure!
--The First Step
6.
Therefore I call out to every seeker:
“Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure, by so
doing you will bring peace and be happy!”
--Responsibility
7. It is therefore necessary repeatedly to call out to all true seekers:
“Give heed to the purity of your thoughts!” Put all your energy into this
effort! You have no idea what you are thus doing; something stupendous lies in
it! You can work with this like mighty warriors and pioneers for the Light, and
thus liberate your fellow-men from the poisonous creepers that infest the world
of thought-forms!
--Thought Forms
8. Therefore I once more adjure all men: Keep the hearth of your volition
and your thoughts pure, and you will become peacemakers and be happy!
--In the realm of demons and phantoms
In this series, we
have examined the power of thoughts; how they operate; what we are to avoid and
the emphasis the Grail Message places on keeping our thought pure.
In closing, I wish to point out one practical advice from the Grail
Message which can help us to avoid evil thoughts. And this is it: We should
just think of the process of the pure Power of God always streaming through us
then we will shrink from guiding this purity into the unclean channels of evil
thoughts, because without any effort we can equally attain to what is highest
and noblest. When we decide resolutely to desire only what is good and strive
to give purity to our thoughts, we have found the way to Truth and to Life! The
way to God!
