Faith is also about keeping heart and remaining valiant at the helm of this frail boat, which sails ineluctably towards the opposite bank. The anchorage point will depend on the spirit governing it. From the dreary swamps to the luminous banks, there is a margin that the soul, in its ascent, manages to distinguish. It aspires to beauty; it calls its God, and leaves it to the Master it has chosen to help it in this crossing. To take the right course, to avoid the pitfalls and to sail by sight in zones of turbulence – nothing is easy in this process. Wisdom can be innate in man, but he needs a guide, wiser and more experienced than himself, to help him in this delicate operation that must lead him towards the right destination. He can trust him; he knows what should be avoided. By getting round the obstacle, he saves you precious time.

"That's how it goes in any serious spiritual way. The aspirant has made a choice; if he manages to stand by it, there is no limit to what he can hope for in terms of reaching the goal in the best condition."

Babuji
