Many of our brothers will appreciate these messages, you can believe me. They target the heart that can recognize very well the speech befitting it. It does not consist of complicated formulas. Those, which speak to it, touch the right chord: it is the only valid criterion in this matter.

"Tirelessly, we revert to the same topics, but each time, a new element emerges, clarifying an important aspect of the spiritual process. It consists of small steps, successive stages of awareness, and deepening of aspects that seemed insignificant in the beginning, and which eventually are given their right place. All must go through these successive states bringing them to realize well where they want to go and especially, with what objective.

"It is critical to set the objective properly. As the aspirant approaches it, by himself, he considers his own process differently. He lends to it importance, credit shall we say, and he decides about the specific place he wants to give it in his life. He realizes how much this aspect of himself is essential, and what he sacrificed it for, by letting himself be dragged into the tide of life, as humans generally do, without giving the least chance to what ultimately is essential.

"It is never too late. A real awareness can accelerate the process and make the aspirant shoot ahead, determined to make up for lost time. He will then consider the conquest of the Spirit as his challenge.

"May our way, with all that it offers, help many of our brothers to emerge and become more than ever determined to move towards the goal, with ardour."
