Leave your worries behind you; get away towards more pleasant climes. Come and join up with us in your heart, far from the vagaries of life. This peregrination, in a protected kingdom where peace reigns, must restore courage in you and rejuvenate you. The time you devote to the sadhana is precious. It is not just a ritual to be performed to salve your conscience; its effects go well beyond mere practice. It sets in motion forces that mould you spiritually, and which call for our action. Be vigilant on this point and steady in your efforts. You engaged in a way that is not necessarily simple and devoid of difficulties. Your perseverance makes you advance blithely; you make progress without even realising it. Beware of your mind, which could delude you into believing the opposite. It is not always a wise counsellor. Rely rather on your heart, on what it feels deeply, on its aspirations sometimes restrained for too long. It has found its way; it is opening out, finding itself its path in this labyrinth, with the help of a method and a Master to guide it advisedly. Trust him; surrender to the divine power he represents, and to the powers vested in him for his Earthly mission. You have set yourselves an objective; don't depart from it, you are striding towards the goal. Be blessed."

--Reflections

We take your life as a starting point in these messages, because, in the broad outline, it interests also each one of our brothers, as far as the topics addressed herein.

"Problems, pitfalls, sorrows and joys – life is a combination of all that and, with time, their many aspects are explored by all. Seen from a special perspective, that which we often mention here, it is all enlightening and constructive when it is well understood. The only purpose of the many developments occurring in a lifetime is to make you go through experiences, more or less well led, according to the level of evolution of the person concerned. Nothing lasts forever; everything is renewed, in various degrees in terms of what exists in creation. Man does not escape the rule, he must go through all the states; his change hinges on that. The many events taking place during his existence aim to make him stronger. He will have to face up to them until the end, while considering them – as he grows in wisdom – as a personal enlightenment.

"Acceptance elevates the soul, by opening it little by little to its divine splendour. A spiritual process gives another meaning to life; it makes it possible to discover new horizons and it gives inner strength enabling one to face up to things with more serenity. The way is long and difficult throughout; the laws are made like that on the Earth, no one can escape them. It is better to regard this process as being initiatory, and to make sure that you make the most of it."
