The light of the knowledge which you have already acquired may be extended to the shadow of others.

The money you have accumulated may be the shelter of your fellow men from need.

The faith you posses be the refuge of those who are weakening.

The illness you suffer may be a motive of patience, of value among those you love, for moral sustenance.

The injury you receive may be a testimony of humility comforting all those who shared your experience.

The hour have at your disposal may be work on behalf of your fellow man.

The word you utter may be of help in some one else’s struggle.

The attitude you take may be a directive in the survey of charity.

Ah, my brother on Earth!

All situations may be a support to the victory of the good and all service rendered to the good is riches of the soul, which criminals cannot steal moths corrupt. . . .

Listen to the clock — heart of the time which guides your path — and time like a messenger from the Eternal Wisdom will ultimately reveal to you that its incessant and ever new tick-tock is a divine admonition of life, recommending: Serve-serve, serve-serve!
