You must accept your body as it is, and be thankful for what you have received. You cannot have it all; you are granted compensations for what is missing in your life – a life which is not commonplace, you have to be well aware of this.

"Each life has its own burden; sooner or later, it reveals itself to the human being, generally in an unexpected way, and utterly upsets his life. He must then face up to things and question himself. There is nothing definite; man must be able to adapt himself, because of the risk of sinking into a regressive state. Faith is the best remedy; it is an invaluable force which helps him make the most of the tests he must undergo.

"A vast field of experiments is offered to him; there is every possible means to enable him to progress, if he really wants to go in the right direction. To a certain extent, it is up to him to make his choices and to see what is the best for him. Man has great liberty to act; alone he makes his decisions based on his instincts – good or bad – which make him act. Life can thwart his plans; he must then adapt himself, while keeping his free will.

"This long training will bear fruit. He will neither be able to succeed in everything, nor miss everything; a margin will be reserved for him where, depending on the cases, errors or commendable acts will be recorded. Each life is granted full of opportunities for rising; it is up to it [life] to impel man to make his choices."
