Tribute to Nicholas Roerich

Very often we are trying to discover
how to build the next life —
how to build the evolution to come.
Well, that is our duty.

And you will all very soon wish to build up your own lives,
and certainly you will wish to build up a happy life.
What is the best medium to reach this happiness?

I can tell you from my own experience —
only through the Beautiful.

I am speaking about the sense of the Beautiful,
and it is our duty to introduce in our lives
this general sense of this great conception.

The chief thing is to have this inner sense of the Beautiful.

We have to remember
that every thought is recorded in the space.
So the chief thing is to create in thought —
to be real cooperators in this beautiful creation
of the whole universe.

Because in this way of creation
we will reflect the best creative powers and
we will then be true cooperators and
co-workers toward the Supreme.

To do this in a vital way,
we have to realize the power of thought.

Remember,
the chief poison is the poison of irritation and anger,
and this is a most powerful poison.
For with every irritation,
we physically create in our nervous system
some emanation.

Remember the sense of the Beautiful.

I again advise you to keep your enthusiasm,
and to keep this creative thought —
to remember that thought is the chief thing —
that power of thought is the real possibility
and it is the most practical thing
to have pure thoughts.

So please have pure thoughts.
