SACRED DEMANDS TO THE INFINITE
DEMANDS
FOR DEVELOPING COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS
O! You who have come to the portals of these prayers:
Pass not by in haste. Enter and bathe in the sacred pool of God-Love,
hidden behind the ramparts of meditation.
Every day, take one prayer-demand at a time, and read it carefully.
First, get the intellectual concept, then concentrate
upon it, addressing it to God by deep, unceasing, forceful, mental
whispers.
At last, the demand will become individualized. Fragrant flower-thoughts
will blossom from the original prayer-plant, thoughts born of concentration
and watered by the divine dew of meditation.
Each word, if it is a word, shall wear, for you, a garment
of burning flame. Each word will be a guiding torchlight in the
procession of prayer-thoughts marching to God. Each word will spread
flames to light the path of some lost brother on the way. Each word-flame
will sing a song that He has sung. Each word-flame will reveal some
lost gem of truth. Each word-flame will illumine some dark corner
of the mind. Each thought-flame will, in silence, pour forth sermons
of His sacredness. Each feeling-flame will hum with the presence
of His love, everywhere, and will wake the sleeping ones to hear
His ever-calling voice, saying: "Come home!"
