With every week that passes, the words and thoughts of Maitreya resonate in the minds of millions of people who know not the source of these inspiring ideas and hopeful concepts. Many ponder deeply on their meaning and vision and are strangely comforted. Others feel enabled and energized, filled with fresh courage and resolve. Still others wonder who this man can be, so simple and relaxed, yet wonderfully wise. Many are the feelings of delight and love that His appearances have wrought.

Of course, not all have found His ideas attractive, or if attractive, certainly utopian and unobtainable. Large numbers are cautious and slightly anxious, fearful that He may be the one they have been taught most to fear: simple and unassuming, wrapped in an aura of goodness and love.

Thus do the many types and levels of men make known their stance and readiness for change.

Masters

Meanwhile, the Masters prepare Their groups for the time immediately ahead. Men and women of every country are being brought together and trained for the tasks which await their skills and altruistic service. They know the needs of the new world and the priorities of action. Service is the key. When the call from Maitreya and men everywhere rings out, these valiant ones will arise in thousands to meet the challenge. Thus will begin a movement which, gathering momentum, will soon cover, and remake, the world.

The needs of every aspect, one by one, will be addressed: the feeding of millions, starving or near, through the production and distribution of food; the slow asphyxiation of humanity by deforestation; the overcoming of global warming; the ending of the “invisible peril”; the ending of the political/economic impasse; the resolution of left versus right political systems. Each of these enormous tasks requires solutions. Each is urgent but the priorities are that no one should go hungry in a world of plenty, and that our planet is sorely in need of succour.

Impact

Soon, the impact of Maitreya’s ideas will begin to be seen. Already many, worldwide, respond to His influence, directly or otherwise. More and more, the impact of His thought will clarify the tangle of interests which today take ‘centre stage’ in public debate, and the needs of every man and family will emerge as the central core of humanity’s problems.

Even now, in many countries, there is emerging a new sense of the need to rethink everything, root and branch, and the concepts of sharing, justice and fairness are growing apace. As the scope of Maitreya’s appearances widens, these ideas can only be expected to flourish and grow.

Thus the conscience of men is awakening and moving in the direction of right relationship. Thus, simply and calmly, does the Great Lord work to purify and sanctify the affairs of men.
