You know how slowly consciousness grows; the transformation of the home of consciousness – the Heart – is likewise a slow process.
So it should be accepted that a person who gives no thought to the Heart will not succeed in improving his consciousness.
True,
in its essence the Heart is not separate from the higher spheres, but
this potential needs to be actualized.
How many refractions
and distortions occur in a heart not purified by higher thinking!
Many valuable transmissions take on an ugly outline simply because
the heart has been neglected.
What concepts and feelings, the
very best and subtlest, will be missing from the forsaken heart!
Won’t we find enmity nesting in a defiled heart?
And let
these words not be regarded as abstract comments, for the heart must
be educated. It is impossible to build up the brain unless there is
refinement of the heart.
