My son is going through a difficult period; he is overwhelmed by worries about the Mission. "You know how painful it is to face up to things when one's health is deficient.

"At the spiritual level, all is well. He keeps growing and his work in this world is extending accordingly. Material difficulties are heavier to come to terms with. Nothing is simple on this Earth; we cannot provide help in every aspect of life. Abhyasis also must face problems of organisation and management. It is another facet of their personal work. A Master is not a magician who can solve all problems related to life in the centres, including the resulting human conflicts.

"Personalities may clash, opinions inevitably diverge. Each individual ego must adapt to situations by creating positive reactions likely to make them progress. Giving up and withdrawing from the life of a group is not a wise stand.

"The ceaseless play of life has its raison d'être. Man must be confronted with difficulties of all sorts in order to grow; this includes his spiritual life, which does not escape the rules of this world. Everyone must come to terms with oneself and integrate [into the group] if possible, by establishing a state of mind conducive to other people's work as well as to one's own."
