To accept one's life is to live it fully and to make the most of it. It is never too late to modify one's way of seeing and doing things. The last-hour labourer is deserving, since he is aware of where the truth lies. Even though he came belatedly, he has understood the lesson and that is what matters. Henceforth, he will be able to lead his life differently; it will no longer have the same meaning and the situations will be experienced differently. This point is important; we insist, because your progress hinges on it. Each life has its own richness; it is enough to utilise it correctly. On this aspect, the capitalist is not better placed than the underground worker. Each one of them comes to do an experiment; only their respective behaviour will make the difference. The role is of no great importance; it has its multiple facets, and it is enough to take them into account and to make the most of them.

"It is the final victory that matters: the victory over oneself, which goes well beyond social success, which is illusory. The soul does not need any claims to fame – that Earthly fame which is not in conformity with its true goal. Only the soul matters in this saga, however rejoicing it is for man. Does the soul come out of this with increased stature? Did the person expected to serve it make a success of his mission? Only the final assessment will tell."

Babuji
