Your spiritual work cannot resolve everything. You must be vigilant and make efforts to correct what can curb your progress.

"A well-led sadhana, with all necessary perseverance, will support the work of the Master. You must take part in this spiritual realization, which you are yearning for. It is not enough to sit down quietly and say: it is Master who does everything. He does it up to some point; you must take an active part in this work. Open your eyes, what can be obtained easily? In this area, more than in anywhere else, your active participation is critical.

"You take pleasure in a moral comfort, which consists in thinking that you are irreproachable, that only others have to make efforts. Don't believe a word of it. You are your own enemy. Develop your sense of observation, be lucid and track constantly the roots of some practices so deep-rooted that they are concealed from your sight. There comes a moment in your progress when you must take a look at yourselves, with greatest humility, and then set out again divested of your main limitations."
