Whatever his level of evolution, a human being needs to rely on tangible aspects, in some circumstances where he is assailed by doubt, when he has to make decisions. No one escapes these characteristics that are specifically human. Man's stature resides in his courage in life, and also in his weaknesses when they lead him to humility. Without it, he can become unpleasant, standing on his superiority complex. The concept of equilibrium here is also critical; nobody is perfect in this world and [man] must try out a series of states with a view of being shaped intelligently. His spiritual quest helps him to have a clear understanding of himself and to correct himself, as far as possible. Each person's path is specific; the diversity of personalities is such that harmony between men also is illusory.

"This living mosaic is varied and dynamic; finding oneself and finding one's bearings in that evolving system is not easy. The refuge of faith gives strength; meditation makes it possible to face oneself and to understand the reasons for an incarnation corresponding to the work to be completed.

"Human frailty is such [that] life hangs by a thread; each minute is important in this countdown giving several options. Cultivating love within oneself inspires, sheds light on the needs for the soul to quench its thirst for the Divine.

"May all our brothers find in our way, an answer to this quest towards the ineffable splendour."
