At this ending of the century, we would like an appeal to be made on this Earth to men of goodwill that consciousness awakens. "How can one speak of progress under the current conditions where 'man is a wolf to man'? [Yet] the wolf is a wise animal species compared to the evil which man can do and the destructive means he shamelessly uses to destroy anything that resists him. We are deeply affected by this situation and we cannot check this devastating wave.

"We suffer from the suffering of so many men, women and children who undergo atrocities.

"How is it that the human being has reached such a stage? He will have to see this escalation through and the destiny of the Earth will have to be accomplished.

"The future is no bed of roses, we have said it already. If you must go through these difficult times one day and be distant from one another, separated by life, try to remember that the unity of heart must remain in this spiritual way of yours, which nothing, not even time, will be able to endanger.

"You will have to cling to this view of things."

Babuji

--The Uplift

There’s always something to say; everything here below repeats itself endlessly. Physical and spiritual bodies have the same requirements; this characterises the human being, who is subjected to unavoidable laws. As for the soul, it aspires to the Divine; this inner thirst can prove unquenchable. The true mystic does not tire of repetitions in this area, in rituals or the assimilation of texts that are proposed to him. It is important for him to thus meet the soul’s deep longing to nourish itself on the emanation of the Divine. In this area, there is no shortage of teachings. The seeker is able to go through experiences and one day find the way that suits him. There lies his final step; he knows he is on the right track and he truly devotes himself to it with some degree of fervour, but he is on the path, that which reassures him in his innermost need for a redeeming quest. He instinctively understands that his choice is good, and he follows it with varying degrees of determination. “Nothing should be forced in this area. We are doing our best for the abhyasi, and everything falls into place as naturally as possible. We are not forcing anyone or anything; we mean here to meet a real need. Blessed are the beings involved in a true process with this unique prospect: to truly rise towards a mystical ideal. “Everything in life happens in a timely manner when the call is sincere and the aspirant is determined. Thus begins for him a real work whose outcome is promising. May the multitude arrive at this conclusion. Everything has its raison d’être here below; a true spiritual path is the culmination of a lifetime.”
