You, we ask you to endure your current life, as much as possible with a smile. Many of our aspirants are disappointed; they thought that their having a Master and being in a way like Sahaj Marg would eliminate their family and health problems. If you knew our lives well, you would see that we were not saved. You settle up the remainders of previous lives, and the mistakes made in this one. No way, no Master, whatever his stature, will be able to resolve your small problems to your liking.

"The objective does not lie there. You must understand it. If you follow us with this kind of motivation, that will not happen.

"Our goodwill cannot make you walk on a carpet of roses. The roses, you have them, but the thorns too. Study the life of all the great Masters who had punctuated history and see what they experienced to reach the highest level of holiness and what all they went through. It is by going deeper and deeper inside yourselves that you will find not only answers, but the strength to endure what you have to live. Without this obligatory process, there is no possible evolution.

"You should resign yourself, either you advance in wisdom and you accept your life, or you stagnate and refuse and you have to follow the same path, without grace though."
