First day of the year
Making a furrow
January 1st 2016
Hundreds of years ago a shepherd in the mountains, was absent-mindedly making a small furrow in the ground with his stick. What is a small furrow?... But then came rain, snow, frost, wind, sun... and gradually the small furrow deepened and widened to become the bed of a torrent. This is only an image, but it shows us that the same phenomenon occurs with humans. Every thought, every feeling is like a furrow drawn in their own inner earth, and all psychic and spiritual forces operating in space contribute to digging and expanding it.
A new year begins today... Is it not the time to consciously draw a furrow in your soul? Concentrate on a divine thought, formulate a divine wish and live today in such a way that it that it becomes imprinted in you. Celestial powers will be alerted and they will support you in your efforts. Each day they will be there to tell you, ‘Remember, the first day of the year you made a furrow, one that was uninterrupted and deep.’ And if you listen, if you continue your work patiently, one day you will feel a river of light passing through you.
