and free yourselves from its chains!

The animal creation is captive to matter, God has given freedom to man.
The animal cannot escape the law of nature, whereas man may control it,
for he, containing nature, can rise above it.

The power of the Holy Spirit, enlightening man's intelligence, has enabled
him to discover means of bending many natural laws to his will. He flies
through the air, floats on the sea, and even moves under the waters.

All this proves how man's intelligence has been enabled to free him from
the limitations of nature, and to solve many of her mysteries. Man, to a
certain extent, has broken the chains of matter.

The Holy Spirit will give to man greater powers than these, if only he
will strive after the things of the spirit and endeavour to attune his
heart to the Divine infinite love.

When you love a member of your family or a compatriot, let it be with a

you while you work in this in-gathering of the scattered peoples of the
world beneath the shadow of the almighty tent of unity.

You will be servants of God, who are dwelling near to Him, His divine
helpers in the service, ministering to all Humanity. All Humanity! Every
human being! never forget this!

Do not say, he is an Italian, or a Frenchman, or an American, or an
Englishman, remember only that he is a son of God, a servant of the Most
High, a man! All are men! Forget nationalities; all are equal in the sight
of God!

Remember not your own limitations; the help of God will come to you.
Forget yourself. God's help will surely come!

When you call on the Mercy of God waiting to reinforce you, your strength
will be tenfold.

Look at me: I am so feeble, yet I have had the strength given me to come
amongst you: a poor servant of God, who has been enabled to give you this
message! I shall not be with you long! One must never consider one's own
feebleness, it is the strength of the Holy Spirit of Love, which gives the
power to teach. The thought of our own weakness could only bring despair.
We must look higher than all earthly thoughts; detach ourselves from every
