The factor which will produce increasing integration between the soul and the personality […] is the attainment of the power to love with purity, with no sense of distinction, and with that love which the Eternal One shows – poured out alike upon all and not biased in any way by the temporal activities of man. This must be based on long vision, and the power to release yourself from the thought form making faculty of the mind. In your case this faculty is swept into activity by emotion. Guard your emotional body with peculiar care during the coming year. Let not anything upset your equilibrium or cloud your vision of reality.
让灵魂与人格日益融合的因素，是获得爱的力量，一种纯粹的、无差别的爱，一种永恒存在的存有展示给我们的爱 —— 它倾洒向一切，不会受到人类现世活动中偏见的影响。要达成这一点，需要拥有远见，以及把自己从心智创造的思想形态中解放出来的力量。就你的情况而言，心智的这种能力被卷入到情绪的活动之中。在接下来的这一年中，要小心留意你的情绪体。不要让任何事情干扰你的平衡，或者模糊了你的视野。
And my brother, be happy. Learn to feel joy – a joy which is based on the knowledge that humanity has always triumphed and passed onward and forward in spite of apparent failures and the destruction of past civilizations; a joy, which is founded upon the unshakable belief that all men are souls, and that “points of crisis” are factors which are of proven usefulness in calling in the power of that soul, both in the individual man, in a race, or in humanity as a whole; a joy which is related to the bliss which characterizes the soul on its own level whereon the form aspects of manifestation do not dominate. Ponder on these thoughts and remember you are grounded in the center of your Being and can, therefore, see the world truly and with no limited vision; you can stand unperturbed, knowing the end from the beginning and realizing that love will triumph.
还有，我的兄弟，要快乐。学会感受快乐 —— 这快乐是基于一种这样的认知：即便人类过去的文明经历了显著的挫败和毁灭，但是人类总会取得成功，并继续前进；这快乐也建立在这样一种不可动摇的信念之上：所有的人都是灵魂，那些“危机时刻”被证明是唤醒灵魂力量的有用因素，不论就个人而言、种族而言，还是全人类作为一个整体而言；这快乐也与幸福有关，幸福是灵魂在自己所在层面的显著特征，在那里物质形态的显化不占主导。
Ponder on these thoughts and remember you are grounded in the center of your Being and can, therefore, see the world truly and with no limited vision; you can stand unperturbed, knowing the end from the beginning and realizing that love will triumph.
仔细思考这些，同时要记住，你要立足于你存在的核心，这样才能真切地看到这个世界，你的视野才不会受到障碍；你可以屹立不倒，从最开始就知道了结局，并且意识到，爱会获胜。
God guard and rest you and increase fourfold your usefulness.Such is my prayer for you.
愿神的力量守护你，让你得到休息的同时，服务的功效增加四倍。以上是我对你的祈祷。
