There is a lesson in every phase of work, in every joy, in every
sorrow. That lesson is LOVE. Until you have fully realized this
truth you will not become full heirs in the Kingdom of God. "He
that loveth is born of God."
Christ taught that the Kingdom was not of your Earth, and that
all material things are transitory and would ultimately vanish
like mist.
The story of Mars is a lesson to you as to what may be
accomplished towards a more harmonious relation with the Father:
towards a truer realization of God's real Kingdom. But in any
event you should not idolize the Mars people, for the Father's
Kingdom is more perfect. Mars' idealism is only a degree in the
progress in the Cosmic Family of worlds. The soul must really
strive for a higher goal.
The Martians, after ages of time, have mastered their natural
passions in suppressing self, but they have other heights to
scale. But he who conquers a sordid environment; he who rises
from a black pool of iniquity; he who finds the Father's Kingdom
amidst an uncompromising warfare with sin deserves more credit
than he who is favored by circumstances of birth with more
congenial surroundings and a higher Spiritual environment.
