Out of the Nothingness
“…First, however, everything that remains of the old will have to be reduced to nothingness. The clouds will have to gather round the human being, and he will have to find his freedom – find his own power, his own strength out of this nothingness. Outer material need will change into soul need, and out of this deep need of the soul will true vision be born.
We must tear up by the roots every trace of fear and shrinking in face of what the future threatens to bring to human beings. All our feeling about the future must be permeated with calm and confidence. Absolute equanimity in face of whatever the future may bring – that is what man has to acquire, knowing as he does that everything that happens, happens under an all-wise cosmic guidance.
Our part is to do what is right in each moment as it comes – and to leave the rest to the future. That indeed is the lesson we have to learn in our time, to base our lives on simple trust, without any security of existence, to have trust in the ever-present help of the spiritual world. That is the only way for us if our courage is not to fail. Let us then set to work to discipline our will…”
