Your dharma or duty to your friends is also to hold sacred their trust and love in you, and to love and support them in return — not to malign or misrepresent or betray them.
– John-Roger (From: The Journey of a Soul, p. 82-83)
Your duty to yourself is to keep free and flowing, to accept what comes your way, to work with it, to learn from it, and to progress continually upward.
As you learn to accept responsibility for small things and to fulfill them well, you will be given greater things. It is a similar process at your job. As you demonstrate to your
boss that you can be trusted, that you can handle the job he gives you, he gives you a better job with more responsibility in a position of greater trust. As you demonstrate you can
handle that job, he gives you another promotion. Life is like this. As you demonstrate your ability to handle your responsibilities, you are given greater responsibilities and
opportunities.
Those people who are going to break free of their karma this time, those people who are going to release themselves from their karmic debts and from the lower realms of
negativity, must indeed demonstrate that they are ready to handle their responsibilities, their duty, their dharma. It is a twenty-four-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week job. There are
no vacations either, but the rewards are certainly worth it.
The job requires total commitment to honesty, truth, duty, and love, a continual demonstration of those qualities, and eternal vigilance so that you don’t miss anything. It is not
easy, at least not at first. After awhile, the rewards start coming in, and you will find that you wouldn’t have it any other way. As you create love, harmony, happiness, joy, and
peace, these qualities will be returned to you. Then the world will become an easier, happier place in which to live.
