Always bear in mind all the good things life has brought to you; see only the positive side. Rejoice for all the graces you have received, including the encounter with your Master, within a strong and high-level spiritual family. Not everyone is privileged in finding their way; many seek it throughout their entire life but to no avail. They are not truly ready and this aspiration remains futile. Life sees to it to prepare them; they necessarily face ordeals, some of which are particularly enlightening for them. Man needs sufferings and tears to grow. Across the board success for him would not develop the innermost aspects of his personality. If he had to live in utmost bliss, he would not wonder about his becoming and the true reason for his stay on this Earth. Difficulties put him back into reality; the need to fight is man's characteristic. He can find his bearings only in efforts and struggles of all sorts, which he must lead. He can earn wisdom by dint of that."
