To believe oneself superior to one's fellow human beings is a huge hindrance to one's own evolution. If this applies to any of you, you must seriously address this defect.

If you have been fortunate financially, intellectually and psychologically to fulfill your wishes, whatever your life, thank God. It is to Him you owe all these gifts and not to yourself. He could have caused you to be a beggar and have others' contempt poured on you. Consider yourself happy with the little or much given to you, without ever believing you are superior to anyone else.

The homeless person who manages a little better than their unfortunate neighbour may also believe themself superior.

Be strict with yourself on this aspect also. Your spiritual condition will be reinforced accordingly.

Relentlessly track down your failings; they are sticks in the wheels of your journey.

Work on humility; all great saints are in this state of mind.

It is essential to your progress. Some weeds are tougher than others to eradicate from your inner garden.

Strive against them; it is a very important point for you all, one that is worth dwelling on at length.

It's up to you to take stock and to act.
