To find one's way here below is a rare blessing; so many human beings wander on the path of ignorance and let themselves be carried away by excesses of all kinds. Knowing where one comes from and where one is going is the hallmark of beings who are aware of the need to advance and to seize the opportunity offered in this incarnation.

The subtle being aspires to the Divine, to the elevation of the soul – elevation which provides the knowledge upon which one's practice is based. What remains of an incarnation on this Earth apart from such an asset, protected from the hazards of this material world!

It is good to take stock and review one's priorities. Are they going in the right direction? Are they focused on what is essential? It is better to not go astray, wasting time that is precious – so very precious indeed.

We wish here to especially draw the attention of our brothers and sisters; each one is working in his or her own manner and trying to do well in everything. It is not always easy; at times, so many complications arise that were not anticipated. One should then face up to things and find the necessary strength within onself, depending on the importance of the cause, and do one's level best. In these difficult situations, a spiritual path provides reference points and inspires a suitable course of action.

Trials are intended to make humans grow, to train them and make them understand the importance of not wasting time in frivolous acts. There is no question of living cut off from the world. On the contrary one should face up to what presents itself. Happy and unfortunate events are characteristic of an incarnation; they bring experience and allow for favourable progress when events are experienced in the desired state of surrender. It is not always easy to accept what comes up; learning about life is the primary challenge. Surrender and love, cultivated within, give the necessary strength to follow one's path against all odds.

Nothing is useless; it is up to each one to accept this and to advance, whatever the cost, with an open mind and a heart adorned with the graces it attracts in many circumstances.

All are blessed and helped, regardless of appearances. Let them never doubt it.
