Advancing against all odds, with faith and a love that is supported by hope for more peaceful times – ones more suited to the expansion of the soul – this is a noble goal. The seeker who is eager to grow does not practise in vain; each one achieves according to their commitment. What else remains after life, apart from this approach that leads the being to the best of himself! An incarnation is short compared to eternity. Man often loses valuable time; he cannot assess, at its true value, the opportunity he is offered to advance and to become refined at the spiritual level. “Blessed are those whose minds are open and who take advantage of what we teach them in order to go further in this commitment of the heart, far from nice philosophical theories that provide no concrete results in this domain. In our system of practice, the intellect is not involved; detachment and emptiness lead to a state of inner receptivity that is appreciable, and is also favourable for the transmission work that is being done. Those blessed moments are conducive to the elevation of the being, who thus attains serenity without having to spend long hours withdrawn from the world and its noise. It is not always easy in a busy day to spare some time for meditation, during which you can extract yourself from your environment. By finding peace within oneself during these times of meditation, one earns the right to live happily, with the eagerness to make further and further progress. Faith and commitment towards the Master are essential, and they drive success in this area. “It is up to everyone to be as committed as they can. All are helped and strengthened in their quest for the Divine.”
