A spiritual Master is admired, envied, feared and loved. He is also a lonely man. He must face all the ordeals associated with an incarnation on this Earth. His fate is enviable only insofar as he has the chance to be able to serve, at a very high level, the supreme authorities who trust him. That is a very special grace, which should be honoured as well as possible, unceasingly, with always the same and only objective: to satisfy the hierarchy. That is what a Master's life is all about.

"He is not appreciated by everybody; he has detractors and enemies who cannot bear his prerogatives. All such situations have their own other side. The important thing is to have the strength provided by faith to always go further, until completion of the task set for him.

"Lassitude weighs heavily on man's shoulders. The spiritual being remains vigilant and propels himself ahead tirelessly so that he can accomplish the mission being entrusted to him.

"The power of love carries and subjugates him during trying periods. It is the miracle cure that overcomes the worst torments. To be loved and supported by one's Revered Master is the best support and the only true happiness for him, here below."
