Moving Forward

An Age of Truth is fast dawning upon mankind and its very first effects are,
paradoxically, a heightened confusion. It is so because the old values based on either
a mechanical obedience to fixed formulas or else to an irrational reverence are being
challenged in the mind-spaces of humanity. But the true values that are destined to
replace the old ones are yet to emerge. The result is the ensuing confusion and a seeming
chaos.

But this chaos, far from being destructive, is the ferment that would nourish earthly
matter with a new creative inspiration. The human heart is bound to search for a new law
after it has gone through this dance of madness that has come about by an overthrowing
of a rationally structured and organised society based on statutes and laws of old. What
is therefore needed is not to reconstitute the old or to somehow revive the dead corpse of
the past but to discover, infuse the new and with that enthuse those who are still in the
seeking.

The task is not easy. It is a whole new species that is emerging and which must
rediscover and redefine itself from the very start without any maps to help. It has
to rediscover itself, rediscover the history and geography of life; it has to rediscover
its relation with creation and the Creator. If one has the urge to thus rediscover then
an inner Help is always there. But those who wish to continue copying and prolong
the past; the writing is clear, — thus far and no further. We need to shake off all our
narrow conceptions, rigid dogmas and beliefs and start afresh like new discoverers and
adventurers in virgin territory.

This is the challenge before us, — to rediscover everything anew or else pass off into the
shades and shadows of a petrified past.

Our choice will either open for us the doors of a New Creation or simply slide us back
into the old and defunct past.
