Knowledge is good, it is desirable, but the essence of a spiritual step lies at another level and only a specific type of work can make this step productive. A sadhana, well understood and implemented to the letter, crowned with a Master's monitoring is bound to be successful. We cannot go beyond what is desirable in terms of the teaching we give you. We prefer to insist on aspects essential to your progress in your way of being, which is more important than knowledge. Transforming yourself within the framework of your progress requires your sustained attention. You should not give in to your tendencies by simply saying: Master will provide for it.

"You should not neglect this aspect of your self. Some minimal efforts are desirable; nothing can be obtained otherwise. While progressing step by step, you become aware of your weaknesses. They should on no account hold you back if you are really determined to advance. There also, repetition is necessary, nothing constructive can be obtained without it.

"Perseverance is a major asset, it must be highly developed; in this area, nothing should be neglected."
