| Keynote: | Let the group transfigure life in terms of accomplishment |
| Transfigure life in terms of accomplishment. True accomplishment involves a life of steady radiance. There must ever be crises of achievement which will draw upon the full resources of the soul. These must be demanded by the personality. Understand the technique of an aligned personality, for the extremity of the disciple in service draws out finally the interest of the soul. (Alice A. Bailey) |
