Of course, if your primary objective is the upholding of the ‘status quo’, all change, however needed and overdue, is suspect and undesirable, the work of ‘militants’ and ‘mischief makers’.

Thus it is that much of the many changes now occurring is seen as threatening the fabric of society and is a source of constant worry, fret and fear.

Did men but see the true nature of the transformation now being wrought by these beneficent energies, they would more calmly understand, and co-operate with, their action.

Needless to say, the ‘status quo’ can never be upheld for long; change and evolution are the very nature of life, and, for good or ill, impose the pattern of the new. The form and quality of the new structure are conditioned by men themselves. Thus useless it is to resist the Great Magnet that drives all life forward on its perfecting course.

When Maitreya and His Group walk freely among men, much will be revealed of the laws which govern life. Men’s bafflement will give way to a dawning understanding and a wiser response to the phenomenon of change. The old die-hards, of course, will remain, but their influence will ebb as the new takes hold. Thus will it be, and thus will men realize better the nature of the adventure we call life.

Maitreya, Himself, stands at the door, His hand uplifted to knock. His signs increase apace as He awaits recognition. Welcome Him to your heart and ease His entry; let Him work through you. Remember that your brothers, also, deserve to know the Great News; leave them, and your sisters, not in the dark.

We have reached the eleventh hour. The destined time is upon us. The long wait is all but over. Harness now your strength for the great work ahead. The times are as never before. The angelic myriads tremble in expectation. Maitreya’s warriors for Truth tighten Their girths and assemble behind Him.

In the midst of chaos and war, and threat of war, the Great Lord lifts His hand. His arrows of Light will pierce the darkness of the time and bring respite to men. His Great Heart glows with love for all peoples. The starving and the oppressed are His especial care. Aid Him in His momentous task.
