We will continue here with Part Two of a Talk delivered by Sina Fosdick, the first executive director of the Agni Yoga Society, to the Agni Yoga Society October 9, 1975.
“‘Verily, just as faith is dead without deeds, so the Teaching is useless without its application to life.’ (Letters of Helena Roerich II, p. 11) While she revealed the spiritual depths of Agni Yoga, Professor Nicholas Roerich guided the thinking toward the all-embracing meaning of culture and its vital need for humanity. He, the widely recognized cultural leader in his own country, Russia, planted many vigorous seeds in America. An indefatigable builder, he founded several cultural institutions in America of which the Master School of United Arts was the first. Then came his call to the artists of other nations, to unite in the name of Art, Beauty, and Culture; thus the International Art Center – Corona Mundi – came into being. The members of the group were active in both institutions, facing many problems demanding decisions. Weaknesses, faults, human failings came to light and our leaders pointed out the way of avoiding serious errors, for the work was growing and we were compelled to grow with it, practicing patience, observation, and alertness.
“Having been told from the beginning about the Mahatmas of the East, the Great Brothers of humanity who guide the rightful evolution, we had to ponder and ‘choose the manifest path of response to the call of Infinity.’ (Infinity I, 63). The call of the heart and striving toward the Masters steadily grew in our consciousness. Mme. Roerich spoke at length about Them, Their work and Their disciples. Letters II, pages 82 and 83 reveal her thoughts. In them, she indicates the need of a teacher on Earth. ‘You are right that expecting an evident sign from the Teacher to give us an impulse for intensified work should be considered as temptation and indicated weakness of striving.’
“‘The meaning of the realization of various interrelations between Teacher and pupil is found. Precisely the steps of approach to the Teaching are dissimilar, so much attraction is there on the first steps and so much of responsibility on the next…The spiritual cooperation grows, unlimited by space… The assigned missions become a joy, become as if one’s own inalienable labor.’ (Agni Yoga, 273)
“During the first years we were studying under Mme. Roerich’s guidance writings by the Great Teachers of humanity, by Eastern and Western philosophers, and by the revered spiritual toilers. The life became saturated with many revelations and experiences. We were told to keep daily notes regarding our progress, and put down any one precept of the Teaching successfully applied, as well as a habit preventing progress.”
