The ways of God are manifold, but they all lead to the same goal. The depth of commitment and the love it arouses allow a significant step forward. This power of love is critical; reason is not enough, as its arguments do not have the same effect and the same depth. When the heart is touched by grace, the aspirant understands the need to act. An incarnation is very short compared to eternity; what does it mean in the present moment? Time is truly short. Every day offers the opportunity to advance, to understand the true meaning of life. So much effort is required, but it all ‘pays off’, shall we say. Following a spiritual way is a sign of open-mindedness; all is grace indeed, and the many tests which humans must face are necessary for their evolution. The Greatest Beings were never spared – such are the laws of life. There is much to understand. Seeing by means of the heart prevents judging and the ensuing feelings of resentment. Criticising is equivalent to getting oneself dirty. May all become aware of this and act accordingly. Life is not easy, and every step is decisive. Reaching the goal is, and will long remain, the key objective. Everything is taken into account; it is up to each and every one to act as best they can. May all our aspirants progress and achieve the goal. That is our wish and the reason for our unceasing action.”

Your fervour is contagious as evidenced by the beautiful letters you are receiving. That state makes it easier to understand our comments, which exude a special energy that is aimed at the spiritual heart. The subtlety of this heart cannot really be described; we have given sufficient information on the matter, but there is still much more to say. When the time comes, we will lead our aspirants deeper into the knowledge of these elements that are essential for a true spiritual journey. The heart is the seat of the soul, as we have said many times; there lies the mystery for seekers who need to go deeper into their self-discovery. They hold a treasure. The important thing is to know it and to act, especially in the true sense of owning it. The human being is much more subtle than science believes; only a few scholars in this field have a real approach to the truth. A true spiritual dimension is necessary, and it is not given to everyone. The quest for the Divine is, and will remain, the best-kept secret in the world of matter, where evolution is very slow compared to that which exists elsewhere. Thus are the laws of life; we all work here to ensure that humanity progresses more than it has thus far. Everything is possible; let us work together towards this elevation of consciousness so that the best will take place and generate a world of peace and love. Today, your Beloved Babuji has given his place to the ‘Grand Master’ of the Mission, to use your term. This is how it goes, dear brothers and sisters; we are united in infinite love.”
