1. "The self-descending fiery rays of the spirit are active in their essence. The struggle with darkness requires fiery activity, that is, conscious tension of the heart. By will, fiery will and efforts, everything that opposes the Light outside and inside is overcome consciously. The main thing is inside. There is a kind of conscious polarization of one's consciousness on the wave of fiery light activity. Nothing and no one is allowed to extinguish the light in themselves, or the lights of the heart. Don't let the sacred fire go out. In its extinction is death." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1952, 158]
2. "In inaction, decay and death. After all, the most active people are always the most successful. They understood what success is, namely, an active person finds opportunities and creates circumstances, only a loser waits for everything to come to him. If the will is strained and the spirit is striving, nothing can stop success." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 5. 092]
3. "One should learn to be active in good. One should know how to resist evil and defeat it." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 6. 090]
4. "…It is so important to oppose darkness actively. ...For the sake of home cleanliness various brooms are used. And when one finds a scorpion in the house, then it is immediately removed." [Fiery World II, 13]
5. "Irresponsibility and unconsciousness are eradicated as the most harmful properties. The sphere of reflex reactions of the microcosm is consciously replaced by self-controlling activity." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1952, 158]
6. "The state of constant intense activity, invisible from the outside, but obvious to the inner eye, let it be the main line of behavior both in private and in public." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1952, 108]
7. "It is believed that taking help is very easy and that this does not require any activity on the part of the recipient. But even in an earthly way, one must be able to get help and be able to accept and use it. Moreover, in the world of spirit, where everything is an interaction of energies, it is necessary to identify the appropriate counter energy to receive." [Еxcerpts by Boris Abramov from the book "Aspiring Heart" 1952, 85]
