Rest assured, we still have things to say. My son is completing his tour in Europe and he is rather satisfied. "New forces are joining the Mission: very motivated young people who will make it advance. The elders will have to help them show self-restraint and also to follow them in the dynamic and constructive proposals they will possibly propound.

"The spirit of the Mission must evolve; so must it be. Without your really becoming aware of it, society is changing as well as mentalities; the whole world is in full mutation.

"A new era is underway for the world, and consequently for yourselves. It is advisable for you to take stock. What are your priorities, your ideals? How do you see your life?

"You wish to improve it, to give it another direction; therefore you should thoroughly review everything and modify what can be modified. Do not restrict yourself to old practices which do not correspond any more to the new being emerging in you – and which requires a better structured life, more suited to it.

"It is up to you to see what must be done; be lucid and demanding towards yourselves, keep heart."

We must come back to an important aspect already addressed yesterday: your 'mission' within the Mission as a whole. You are one of its components; no matter what you do, your place is important and essential to its development. Be well aware of that and of what you represent as abhyasis practising assiduously.

"The Mission is growing and must be firmly structured. It needs persons in charge acting under Master's leadership. He cannot do and see everything. The task, at the material level, becomes very heavy; more and more he must set up a competent managerial system.

"That is not always easy. People's sensibilities should not be offended – though this kind of primary reaction should be overcome so as to only focus on the general interest of the group, whether big or small. Nothing prevents you from expressing yourself, from saying your way of seeing such-and-such an aspect; dialogue is important and authoritarianism is not recommended. You must, above all, learn how to live your spiritual life together."
