The prophet says: "The Spirit of the Lord is over me and He has anointed me." The word "anointed" signifies that you are called for a certain service, which you can fulfill. Only the strong, the good and the wise people can be anointed.
Know that the thought of God manifests itself in every new movement, in every new beginning in the world. For instance, ever since the year 1914, even before that time, everywhere in the world there have been certain phenomena, certain events whose meaning the scientists and the educated men cannot correctly interpret. These phenomena are becoming more frequent nowadays. Their purpose is to awaken contemporary humanity, to stimulate and activate man's thought. Why is their awakening necessary? Because the time for inner, spiritual work has come. When do people sleep? At night. At daytime, after the sun rises, they should be up on their feet, ready for work. When favorable conditions for spiritual work come, everyone must be ready.
"The Spirit if the Lord is over me." How should we interpret these words? They mean that God's thought is over me, that it is for us. We have reached the phase of life where we can study the thought of God and come in contact with it. Every person who can manipulate with the thought of God and enter into contact with it, can be a master of his own life and a master of the conditions he lives in. I shall give you an example to show you how the thought of God can affect a person. One of our sisters was paralyzed almost for a year. Her hand became often very stiff and this stiffness spread over her whole body so that she felt all paralyzed. I told her that she must restore harmony within herself, but up to the time when such a harmony could be achieved, she would pass through several crises. How could she attain harmony? By coming into contact with God's thought: Everyone healing himself by a Divine way, cannot become healed at once, as if by magic, but gradually, passing through a certain number of crises. |
