Whatever the bumps in the way, move forward and keep looking toward this captivating light on the horizon. The long march upon which humanity has embarked on is tough. Their footsteps sound heavily, and they are growing and become deafening.

"A cry can be heard, which we cannot ignore, since distress is much greater among men than it may appear. Souls are suffering. A great number strongly feel the call of the Divine and seek a saviour, hopelessly.

"This emptiness creates a deep malaise, which man cannot really identify, as he is seeking in vain in this world that which he cannot find therein. Some of them run away from themselves; they cling to vain hopes or fake paradises that leave them more helpless than children and in a manifest distress.

"This planet throws us into dismay: such suffering requires a remedy. The Mission egregore is expanding; it plays its role, which will keep on growing. Only spirituality and nothing else will be able to save the world. It is ultimate salvation: it is in the nature of things. Will man finally understand that this recourse is the only way out?

"Let us strive toward the widening of consciousness, so that in this century, an ideal of highly spiritualized life capable of changing men, could emerge."
