BEFORE WE GET TOO PROUD

Dear Friends,

Lest we should get exceedingly proud of the speed of events in our civilization, it it better to read -- and to meditate -- on these words from an Adept-Teacher, published in the "Mahatma Letters": 
?Less than two centuries prior to the arrival of Cortez there was a great ?rush? towards progress among the sub-races of Peru and Mexico as  there is now in  Europe and  the U.S.A. Their sub-race ended in total annihilation through causes generated by itself ; so will yours at the end of its cycle.? (1) 

In fact, high speed is often associated of a lack of sense of direction.

There is an ancient saying which states:  "When Karma decides to punish somebody, it makes the person blind, and then it makes the person run". 
Best regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline
