Give free rein to the impulses of love which characterize you, they do not weary us, believe us. As they are not inborn in each one of our brothers, we can only appreciate it. You were granted receptiveness of heart, which is conducive to divine service. Do you realize the value of this legacy? Loving is infinitely gratifying; can one hope for anything better in this world? See which [kind of] love a spiritual Master feeds himself with, being dedicated to those who preceded and guided him, as well as his admiration for them. These exchanges are unique and they create bonds defying time, by weaving invaluable threads in the face of eternity.

"Love is the thread connecting hearts united in the service of the same cause. Nothing solid or definite can be done without this state of grace governing great destinies. Our way shows it, others before it have also shown it, as will always be the case. Love is the fundamental element providing a solid base to a movement like ours. Our aspirants must become aware of it and develop in themselves this aspect of sadhana. As they advance they must feel caught up by this power.

"To love one's Master: what can be more beautiful and more edifying than that? To show it is not a sign of weakness, as some Westerners believe. They must however exceed such reservations by considering that in them is being built the wonder, and that there is no need whatsoever to display it. Far from men's view does not mean being ignored by God and consequently by one's Master.

"Each one follows one's own way, according to one's aspirations. May all our brothers receive the gift of loving."
