The Earth is revolving and will keep on revolving for a long time. The whirl of men who populate it will continue until the moment when their own cycle of incarnations on this planet has come to an end.

"The history of this world is very rich and so varied that you would remain astounded if you knew it. You know relatively recent facts. What are three or four thousand years? Two thousand years are like a day; twelve thousand are a series of new beginnings, not more, on a time scale. Incredibly rich civilizations that existed would stagger ethnologists and all categories of researchers as their knowledge is reduced to their capacities of comprehension. Liquid and solid spaces moved very often in an way unimaginable for man of the twenty-first century. He would remain staggered, if he could go twenty thousand years back.

"That would not serve any valid purpose as far as he is concerned. His life program is here; he must face up to things now. It is good for him to think about what life was in the old days, but this reflection is valid only if it leads to being aware of one's smallness, and in contrast, of the power of the laws that govern the universe and each of the innumerable existing planets.

"The power of the Creator is boundless. That must drive human beings to the greatest humility and to devotion, which is the finality of their life on Earth."
