A poet has said, 'the harvest needs the dew to make it ripen, and man [...] has need of tears.' All the philosophy of life is summarised in these few words.

"Tests, tears are the lot of all human beings; sooner or later, they must go through them. We always come back to this aspect of life, because man does not accept these cycles where everything seems to dog him. It takes much greatness of soul to face up to them in a state of greatest acceptance. Faith, and only faith, can help man – faith in God or quite simply in life, in its manifestation, its perpetual renewal and its strength. Whatever the name given to hope, only it enables man to progress. Despair can lead to the worst dramas, to the greatest excesses, which make one lose a sense of reality. Humanity suffers, it advances in this vale of tears where its recourse is to look towards the sky and beseech grace. The time of suffering and humiliation will finish one day. Let us work together for better times to come on this Earth. Let us work to release souls and make them foresee the divine splendour."

Babuji
