Meditation for the full moon of 19th November 2021

Master Morya,

"You may be incessantly busy with your life and yet find that it has slipped through your fingers. This means that you need to delve more deeply into life itself, to give your life meaning and live it more truly and profoundly. (…)

Actions are born out of a state of balance. When you are out of balance there can be no action. Then there is only a certain reaction but that is not a real action. An action can only take place when you are well balanced, when you are quiet, when you are reflecting on things, when you are in harmony with yourself. Then you are truly acting; you are carrying out a conscious deed.

Many people may well be living and yet they never really act. They are not really giving their attention to what they are doing. They live automatically and they react to things, but this is not real action. So you can see that there are various elements in you that clash with each other and so create chaos. The result is that you react to this and that but you never take a real action.

You should come to the point of being able to really act and also you should be able to overview the whole of your actions. Unless you become conscious of your life, whatever you do is of no importance. The action is primordial. It is what you do in your life that makes your life – not what you think.

You might well object and say that what one thinks is important and I won’t deny it, yet it remains a fact that what you do is much more important than your thoughts. Every action, every power in you – for this is what an action is based upon – has to take its environment into consideration. An action is good when it is adapted to its environment. A certain action may be correct and beneficial in one situation but that does not mean that it will necessarily be good in another situation. So you have to acquaint yourself with your environment and get to know what you can and cannot do. This is why it is so important for you to explore your environment, so that you know, ‘yes, here, in this situation I can do this and somewhere else at another time I can do something else.’ It is in this way that you must try to become conscious. (…)

An action should achieve something. By trying to act consciously you will come to understand that by your actions you accomplish something. Therefore, it is important for you to have a goal, to know where you want to go, to know what you want to achieve in your life and it is important that you adapt your actions accordingly.

If you are someone without a goal, then your actions are of little importance, they are futile. If you have a goal in life, a very worthwhile goal, then every action, even the smallest, is saturated with this energy."
