In a way like ours, we do not impose anything, only the true aspiration of the abhyasi matters. Authoritarianism is not our style; with us, there is no 'brainwashing'. An important action is going on in Europe, especially in France, against spiritual movements that are far removed from religions. It is worrying because these well-organised actions are geared towards a deprivation of individual liberty. This country cannot go back and revert to the obscurantism that prevailed for so long.

One needs to have patience and wait for minds to be willing to open up.

Old Europe is falling behind in many respects. It has long since ceased being the beacon of the world.

In many fields, it has a long way to go to catch up. There also, two powerful forces confront each other, good and evil, with all the resulting frictions.

As far as all of you are concerned, do not lose the thread, and don't let yourselves be affected by negative comments concerning your way of seeing and leading your lives in this respect.

Your heart is the most precious lantern you can possibly have; trust it to guide your steps.
