Course VIII - Teaching 14: Psychical Attitude

Many noble beings are working in the world for the sake of Humanity. They are soldiers of God entering the field of battle; they neither rest nor stop fighting until the final victory.
They assist the needy, humiliate the powerful, lift up social classes, grant new scientific inventions and prepare eras of progress.
Other noble beings also take part in the same task, and do not fight, but share human sufferings and sorrows, by assisting and illuminating Humanity, and by participating.
Sons have to adopt this psychical attitude. They have to descend to the field of sorrow, and take part in it with their purest spirit: companionship. Above all, they have to kill indifference, which is the greatest sin, and to feel intimately the burden of the world that suffers.
Those noble souls that today understand this great truth stop writing books, stop preaching a doctrine or stop founding societies. They prefer to live with the poorest, to work with the humblest, and to be amid the most despised races, by assisting and redeeming them, and by participating.
The Sons that are unable to participate directly in this mission meanwhile have to accept this and take part with heart and thought.
A Son should not resign to theories; theories become an overwhelming burden without practice.
Start little exercises of tolerance and compassion according to your own destination in life, look at all beings around you with love and patience, remove from you any superfluous thing, and live as simply as possible, in order to come –by similarity– into contact with the poorest and indigent.
Live your doctrine by participating psychically in redeeming Humanity.
