My BROTHER:

In my last instruction I gave you certain suggestions. Perhaps the way I can best help you at this time is to list them for you clearly and concisely, and ask you - in the silence of your heart and the light of your soul - to answer them. I told you:

1. To sacrifice your own thoughts, wishes, aims and dreams.
   Have you done this?
2. To follow the rocky way of duty, of dharma, and clear decision.
   Have you done this?
3. To keep your eyes on the Light ahead or in the distance.
   Have you done this?
4. To preserve silence as regards yourself.
   Have you done this?
5. To forego all plans.
   Have you done this?
6. To disperse the clouds of glamor around you by the dynamic light of your own soul.
   Have you done this?
7. To send out your thoughts to me.
   Have you done this?

Two of these questions, I will answer for you, but I will not enlarge upon them. First: You have not sent out your thoughts to me. I have not registered one thought. You have sent out devotion, desire, demands, aspiration, longings and wishes - but not one clear thought. Why? Think this out, my brother.

You have made plans.
