To withdraw from society and interiorize oneself must become a reflex, the most gratifying one. This mastery is obtained with time, on condition that the necessary efforts are made. Motivation is based on faith, which determines the entire spiritual life. Whatever the means allowing one to sustain it, the seeker must well bear the goal in mind.

"Our way comprises some salient aspects allowing the aspirant to lead his life without neglecting what can put him in tune with his Master, guarantor of his process, insofar as he [the aspirant] is sufficiently committed. This aspect must be considered. Many neglect it and think that they can be given everything without the least effort. This attitude is a sign of immaturity, curbing the process.

"Our method cannot radically change the abhyasi in his behaviours, although it manages with time, by spiritually refining him to make him adopt another way of life. Once he has reached that stage, the aspirant can see where his priorities are, and he organizes himself accordingly. To get to the heart of the matter is to become aware of the precariousness of life on Earth and to ensure that it is well led. It is motivating to reach a stage where one's assessment of life is positive.

"Our brothers are accompanied in their process, which belongs to a great vibratory movement. They are granted benefits that cannot be measured in this world. They will be able to fully appreciate it when they have left it; they already belong to a family of souls leaving its marks on the world of men and well beyond. It is important to belong to that level; one day they will be able to appreciate it."
