3. Moyen de Parvenir, Le
The soul exhorts herself, because paths of advance in the several grades of the Lesser and Greater Mysteries are in a certain sense narrow, and few enter the Gate which opens towards the Higher Palace .
L E M OYEN DE P ARVENIR
Straight as the path which leads in distant days
To the large issues of the narrow gate,
Be our life shaped in all its ways and aims,
And let all high intent the heart upraise;
But do not bide till we can meet all claims,
Or, with the chance of service, stand and wait!
It is with the great matters of religion as it is with the business of life; if we looked for time and opportunity, we should do but little in the latter, and if we tarried in the other to increase worthiness, we should never go back to God. It might be written that we shall be worthy when we enter into the Divine Union .
