ONE MUST NOT DELAY UNTIL
TOMORROW THE PLANTING OF A NEW GARDEN
225. It is a mistake
to think that the ascent of consciousness can be accomplished by attainment of
supernatural exaltation. As below, so above: labor and experience everywhere.
Consciousness nurtures the growth of the subtle body. Even the slightest
sensation contributes to the texture of the subtle body. It is precisely this
that is usually overlooked by people. They think that one great action can
compensate for a succession of small, petty deeds. But who can say what is
great and what is small? All actions of a yogi take into account the most
detailed considerations. One can see keen observation and precision in every
act of a yogi. In his actions, no prejudice, no useless habit is permitted. He
walks like a lion. He strikes unhesitatingly, but does not crush what is
unworthy of notice, or too weak to threaten. Thus, one must evaluate the true
meaning of one's every action.
One must not delay until tomorrow the planting of a new garden; only immediately and without delay can one strengthen the nursery of consciousness. The gardener studies each new root found in his garden. And for the yogi, each thread of consciousness will be a thread to the far-off worlds.
