Hoist the flag in your own minds and keep it flying aloft there, Be pure, alert and humble. I am in you; you are in Me

Remember, the flag is a sign that is significant for each and every one of you.

It is a reminder of your duty to yourself,

It reminds you to overcome the urge of low desires, of anger and hate when your desires are thwarted;

It exhorts you to expand your heart so that you embrace all humanity, all life and all creation in its compass;

It directs you to quieten your impulses and calmly meditate on your own inner reality.

It assures you that, when you do so, the lotus of your heart will bloom, and from its center will arise the flame of divine vision,which guarantees Prasanthi (infinite peace) to every one of you.•
