The goal and the meaning of existence is to strive upward beyond the limits of the known, and to help one another. (160)

Leaves of Morya’s Garden: Book Two: Illumination (1925)

Life is most complicated, and only the consciousness which is united with the Higher Will can sense the right direction and steer its vessel through all storms. But the storms are inevitable and useful, for the ship as well as for the pilot and the whole crew, because only in this way are strength and firmness tested and also fearlessness and alertness developed.
