Many human tragedies could be avoided if real communication existed between people. Being afraid to speak the truth is not always a good practice. It results in tensions and complications that could very often be avoided if one's acts and words were dictated by frankness.
Sometimes, to avoid doing harm, human beings get entangled in situations that are time bombs.
Psychological dramas could often be avoided by defusing them from the outset.
Simplicity and frankness can pay off, in the best sense of the term.
People themselves create complicated situations from which they no longer know how to extricate themselves.
In certain circumstances, it would be beneficial for them to collect themselves before speaking or acting. Taking the trouble to sit down and meditate very deeply, surrendering one's worries and embarrassment to the Master, could help them. They would come out of it with a calmer mind and clearer ideas. The right course of action would probably appear to them and spare them getting mired in a complicated situation.
You all are not often among these cases we have just mentioned, but sooner or later it will happen, and you will appreciate having a selfless and effective adviser in the depths of your heart.
Never act on the impulses of anger, tiredness or exasperation, which can lead you to behave in a way that is harmful for yourselves and others. If you take stock of your lives very sincerely, you will realize that these observations are not useless and would have helped you in many circumstances.
Try from now on to be clear for the sake of your own peace of mind and for those with whom you mix. We do insist on this aspect because it is one of the failings of human beings.
We would like you to track down in yourselves everything that can curb your evolution.
The more you advance, the more you must rid yourselves of all that encumbers you.
Our words are not moralizing. We only want to enlighten you so that you can increasingly clarify your way of being.
You will feel lighter, more active and determined to move forward.
To see you looking towards the goal and focusing all your efforts on this objective would fill us with joy.
Rid yourselves of useless baggage, laden with a multitude of things of no interest. As you advance, you can see it for yourselves and aspire to the purity and lightness that a soul at peace provides.
Take stock, reflect and act accordingly.
We'll stop here with this long speech and these repetitions, but we wanted them to reach you deeply.
Take heart!
