42. Obedience

Obedience
    Is not blind self-giving
    To another individual.
Obedience
    Is not the play of compulsion.
Obedience
    Has to be full of inner recognition
    Of our high, higher, highest part
    Playing its role
    In different human beings.
Obedience
    Is the acceptance of our higher life,
    Of which we are not yet conscious.
