Don't worry about this; your personal progress is taking place at time's pace and as planned. It goes the same way, from an individual unit to the whole. Time, this great architect, is immutable; it moves on, imperturbable and regulating life on all levels. It does not serve any purpose to try to slow down or accelerate the movement; man, in his naivety, believes in being the master of his own life. He delights in this illusion, whereas he is only the toy of destiny. All is controlled, all is planned, including what he considers as lamentable errors. As concerns his own actions or decisions binding to the world, nothing is done randomly.

"Condemning some and glorifying the others is of no use. Where is the truth? Where is justice? Men judge and act blindly, driven by destructive feelings, finding an outlet for one's own misfortunes in striking one's neighbour. How can he be blamed? He is advancing in the darkness of ignorance, driven by destructive impulses that characterise man in terms of his least glorious aspects. This bad seed must be eradicated from his heart; scales must fall from his eyes, so that eventually he can see life as it is really like."
