Look back and see the long way you have come; this observation will encourage you to continue with even more enthusiasm. It is good for an aspirant to make an assessment of this kind. Until the end, it is necessary to hold one's course and not lose sight of the final destination. Let your heart be reassured: all is well. It is enough to continue on your road with the same hope and the same faith in what you do.

"Love must guide you as usual, it is part and parcel of your life, and it is its second nature. It ensures complete success. Whether inborn or acquired in this incarnation, this propensity to love is a sign of the divine hallmark, transcending any spiritual process. Let your heart open out more and more, it is never too big to receive benefits that cannot be evaluated in this world, but which count above all. They ensure sustainability for the rest of the journey wherever it may take place on the other side of the bank.

"After this incarnation, the journey will continue in other places, preserving what it will have managed to acquire, especially in terms of spiritual goods. We keep encouraging our brothers not to let up; their efforts are worth the resulting fruits. Each day offers an opportunity to do, and especially to do it well. A well-led sadhana helps to surmount the obstacles, the ordeals and the sorrows occurring in each life. To look towards one's Master is not to lose sight of the objective; whatever the strength of the storm, the essentials must be preserved. The hardness of this existence on Earth should not discourage our brothers; they are on the right track. They are helped, supported and blessed, whatever may happen."
