Re-education of man persists in all eras
In shops, things are kept in separate packets, and each one specialises in some particular article or sets of articles. But in an exhibition, hundreds of shops join to make all varieties of things available, and there is a great deal of window-dressing, arrangement, and display. I have been all these days generally giving individual advice, like the packets available in shops, and giving answers to individual questions. This ‘speech’ today is a new experience for you. I am addressing a gathering today, but even though it may be new to you, for Me it is not new. I have given advice to large gatherings before, though not in this Appearance. Whenever the Formless becomes One with Form, It has to fulfil the Mission, and It does so in various ways. But the one purpose, the re-education of Man, persists, whatever the era. The first sixteen years of this Life have been, as I have often told you, the period when divine child sport predominated, and the next sixteen is being spent mostly in miracles in order to give joy to this generation. Joy and contentment are short-lived sensations; you have to catch that mood and make it a permanent possession: bliss (). After the thirty-second year, you will see Me active more and more in the task of spiritual instruction - teaching erring humanity and in directing the world along the path of truth, righteousness, peace, and love (, , , and ). Not that I am determined to exclude plays and miracles from My activity after that. I only mean that reestablishing , correcting the crookedness of the human mind, and guiding humanity back to (Eternal Universal Religion) will be My task thereafter. Do not be led away by doubt and vain argument; do not question how and whether I can do all this. The cowherds of also doubted whether the little boy () who grew in their midst could lift mountain and hold it aloft! The thing needed is faith, and yet more faith.
