LIGHT OF THE WORLD

The light of the world is always a hope in the hearts of those who seek a greater role in the world. There is an inner conviction for those who have awakened their spiritual sight; a conviction that the day will come when certain spiritual leaders will appear on the world scene who will raise the spiritual consciousness of humanity by their individual effort in various fields.

   Many who believe they recognize this trend in world affairs, point out the growth of interest in occult phenomena and in subject related to parapsychology which catch the public eye. But popular interest in occult and psychic phenomena does not equate to a spiritual awakening of humanity. There may be a peripheral awakening, but psychic phenomena and the occult in themselves, can exist entirely devoid of any real spiritual content.

    There is a trend however on the part of many good people, to be concerned about the spiritual, emotional and material welfare of underprivileged communities. This deep concern for other reveals a spiritual  awakening in many people who give no thought to the phenomena of so-called psychics and occultists. Their only concern is to do something now fro those needy people who have been cut off from the mainstream of life. They are the outcast, handicapped and underprivileged masses who have been cast aside by society because they don't or can't conform. Many are children, unwanted and without the love and guidance of parents or friends. In their eyes, nobody cares.

DEDICATION TO SERVICE

If scientist and politicians directed their attention to lifting a little of the burden of humanity, the light of the world would stand revealed. But we're still waiting while we direct our attention to the sufferings of others in need. Although we may feel powerless to help then many people in their plight, we must hold fast to the knowledge that what little we can do is needed and help is on the way. We must persist in the knowledge that our good works and prayers are helpful and achieve worthwhile result, even though we sometimes see little evidence of it. There is a gradual awakening of the part of many who dedicate themselves to service. Their concern is for more human values which reveal spiritual insight and deeper values.

   Those who have dedicated themselves to helping the needy, whether in the fields of medicine, sociology or many other sphere, aren't necessary mystically inclined; but they do reveal a deep spiritual motivation which  is greatly needed today. It is to be hoped that those who are mystically inclined will also become involved by radiating a spiritual love to all humanity service is the keynote of all mystical work. For preparation is the mystical life we must sooner or later feel the stirring of our deeper spiritual self which urges us to serve the interest of raising humanity to a higher lever of thought and conduct.

   Without the slightest doubt, there is a new spiritual awakening today. Small though it is, it can seen here and there where dedicated people are prepared to stand against all odd and be counted for the advancement of humanity, and especially to assist the underprivileged in society. This trend shows that the light of the spirit of humanity can be rekindled and that there is hope for the future destiny of mankind as long as there are men and woman who place their spiritual qualities above their material desires.

There will always be something we can do, no matter how small and inconsequential it may seem. The helping have we give to someone in needs of others. Service is the key to a better understand of life, for as we give of ourselves and share our lives with others, as fully as possible, so will our enriched. It is in giving that we receive, and to receive th greatest rewards in life we must be  prepared to put aside many of our self-interest and be more concerned for others. what we share will be returned to us in great measure.

    The more we give thought for each other and have the willingness to give some help to one another, the more the spiritual light will grow in the hearts of men and women, gradually bringing a new dawn of greater light and understanding between all people. Then will come to the fore those spiritually enlightened people of all races who will point the way to higher advancement, not by what they say, but because they will be living example of the spiritual way of life.
