Seeing only positive aspects of one's life is a condition to its success. This assessment is the only important aspect when it is made with objectivity. Unfortunate events often lead to a new direction, which would not have been taken otherwise. Life, as a whole, is to be seen very much philosophically; the attitude, that must prevail, is to surrender as we do recommend to our candidates.

"Which human being can really tell what is the best for his evolution! His way is mapped out by an inner subtle force, which he tries to resist. People that are the most open to divine laws also tend to react in life in manners not corresponding to their profound nature.

"Man is complex and is subject to influences that can make him go where he should not have to. At the beginning of a spiritual way, he is given orientations on how he should behave. Finally common sense prevails; the voice of wisdom begins to be heard in him and to support an initiatory way. Our way belongs to the means for making this opening towards the supreme quest: that which liberates him from his chains. Cleaning and transmission are the two strong points, with the living Master crowning it all. We propose to our brothers what we think is essential; God offers this means to men who want it. We claim no exclusive rights. Each one can find the way which is suitable to him, may all men end up making the right choice."
