The most important thing for students

"The main concern at this moment is this:

It isn't the Infinite Way, that's not your concern. The world, that isn't your concern. The affairs of this world, that is not your concern. At this moment there is only ONE thing that is your concern and that is the degree of your God Contact.

If you never heal a case, if you never teach a student, if never play a part in the world affairs, none of that's important, not a bit.

There's only one important thing and that's YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

You owe nothing to this world,

and you have nothing to give this world.

You owe nothing to your patients or your students.

You owe NOTHING to the Infinite Way.

You owe to yourself one deep debt. And you're never going to be out of that

debt. You owe it to yourself to make your God Contact and to maintain it

and to see that you make it everyday of the week and that you maintain it

every day of the week.

That is your function in life.

Make that God Contact and keep it!

Forget the world, forget trying to save the world and forget your patients

and forget your students and forget The Infinite Way. Forget everything.

Have only ONE goal and ONE ambition. And that is to make and maintain your

individual relationship with God, your individual contact with God.

Then, out of that contact if the opportunity presents itself to you to do

healing work, to do teaching work, to do lecture work, to support this

activity in any way from material dollars to spiritual support, do it.

But, do it only as an ADDED thing, as an extra thing. Do it only as a consequence, as a direct result of your daily, spiritual contact.

Now, I can say this to you, because truthfully, this has always been my

attitude. I have no feeling of wanting to save the world. I have no

feeling of wanting to save even you. I have no feeling about students or

patients. I have no feeling about this world at all. I have only ONE

feeling and that is that I can't live separate and apart from my God

Contact.

And the minute I come out of it a little, I am in misery. And I have to get back into it. And, it so happens that through that God Contact, this work has developed and been drawn to me and I fulfill it.

If I had the nerve, I'd run a thousand miles away from it, ten thousand miles and hide. But, I'm just afraid to for fear of what my Papa upstairs will do to me if I renig. But, for my own sake and my own comfort, be assured of this that going into classwork is more punishment for me than taking a physical whipping.

I don't seek it, I don't look for it. And not all the profits or moneythat could be involved in it can make me do it more than when I can't getout of it. And that's a strange thing.

But, it's the truth and it always has been the truth. Classwork and lecturework is punishment to me. And I do it only because this inner urge forces me to it. And the people keep writing and writing and phoning and wiring and cabling and coming and I just feel I can't go back on it or neglect it,because that's why I was given this God Contact to begin with.

And so, as many times as I promised to stop it, the next thing you know,I'm back at it again. But, believe me, it isn't a thing that you would want to go into voluntarily. It isn't. Because it's, whatever it is, it is, any how and it isn't nice.
