　　THIS spiritual life calls for souls who are completely dedicated, for without dedication you will faint along the way. There are many influences in life which can easily throw you off balance unless you are one- pointed and completely dedicated. To live a full and glorious life means living it all the time; it cannot be part-time. You have to keep on your toes day and night, to be on the alert and to act at a moment‘s notice without any thought of the self or self-concern. There are times when you will have to go ahead in complete faith and confidence without even knowing the reason why you are doing it. You will have to act from intuition and inspiration, and when you do there may not appear to be any rhyme or reason for it. But when you know something is right, go ahead and do it, and know you will have all the forces of light behind you, for I AM with you.

　　這靈性生活召喚那些完全奉獻的靈魂，因若沒有奉獻精神我會在中途昏厥。生活中有很多影響可以讓我失去平衡，除非我專心致志、全然奉獻。活出一個充實榮耀的生活，意味著每時每刻都這樣去生活；它無法是兼任的。我需要隨時留意，保持機警，即時行動，不帶有任何自我的或自我顧慮的想法。

　　有些時候，我需要在完全的信念與信心中向前，甚至都不知道我這樣做的原因。我將需要根據直覺與啓發去行動，而且當我這樣做時，可能都看起來並沒有什麼節奏或原因。但當我知道某件事是對的，向前去做吧，同時要知道在我身後會有所有光明的力量，因上天與我一起。
