The spiritual lineage of the Universal White Brotherhood was founded by Master Beinsa Douno, also known as Peter Konstantinov Deunov, of Bulgaria, in 1897. Master Beinsa Douno taught that the qualities of humility, obedience, honesty, goodness, intelligence and nobility are foremost in spiritual practice. He explained that one should walk the path of Love, Wisdom, and Truth. The Universal White Brotherhood believes that God is in everything: in the stones, the plants, the water, the air, the animals, and the light. Following the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, Master Beinsa Douno practiced and preached a vegetarian diet. Today, we will read a selection from Master Beinsa Douno’s lecture titled, “The New Day,” held on January 17, 1940, at the General Esoteric Class, in Izgrev – Sofia, Bulgaria. “All conscious people anticipate something good, something beautiful in life. It is the New that is coming. It is already in the air and everyone can feel it. The New permeates the entire life. All speak of it. This expectation of the New is good, but everyone should know the way in which the expected will come.”“Where could the New come from? Is it from Nature? It is true that Intelligent Nature helps people to acquire all blessings they strive for, but they must work solely to achieve them.” “Someone may think that Nature’s drafts are insignificant, abstract and they are not interesting. Misunderstood works are not interesting indeed, while the understood ones are. But whether we are interested or not in Nature’s works, we are forced to study them.”“What is important for every person nowadays is to study life in three aspects: life as a science, life as an art, and life as a force, realizing that they study in the great University of Earth.”“When people are exposed to great difficulties in life, without knowledge of how to cope with them, they will be at risk to pass through great misfortunes and sufferings. People need positive knowledge to deal with the obstacles which they alone have put in their way because of their ignorance. Then, Nature opposes them too.”
