Ignorance as well as the ensuing intolerance are human characteristics. You cannot escape them in your contacts with others, which are accompanied with all these aspects inherent in human nature, and which cannot be controlled by individuals. One has to put up with this by creating for oneself an inner state that places oneself on other planes, and to also have a clearer view of one's own nature. This refuge is the surest. It is not about being disconnected from life, but about being able to interiorise oneself when necessary. You cannot change the world to your liking – that would be too much to hope for – but have only a positive view of one's evolution towards more open-mindedness, understanding and respect for the other. Humanity makes its way in this direction; the results are very slow. It must reach a certain stage to be able to quicken the pace. This cause is not desperate; we are all working towards it. You also can do it, and you contribute to it insofar as you put yourself into an effective spiritual process. What is done on you benefits your brothers and sisters less favoured than you in this aspect. Continue to make progress, obstinately; victory is at the end of the road."
