Yes, the question is raised. Do you really want to advance? Well-articulated questions call for good answers. But the answer, you have it already. Our repetitions are deliberate; they are meant to oblige you to become aware of what is good for you. It is you who hold the reins; it is up to you to shape your future.

"Put like that, it all seems simple. Your Masters are there for you; our way is all set. We know what has to be done, but we cannot force restive spirits into the roped party [of climbers]! We are often sad to see brilliant elements moving away. What can we do about it? They choose their destiny themselves. Perhaps they will revert one day to a greater wisdom, but so much time is wasted before their chains are broken.

"Since the beginning of time, Masters have been suffering while making such observations. They are disconcerted before the reluctance of humans, who want without wanting. We have to let time do its work and wait. Listening to the cry of their 'self' in need and not rushing them, that is our role.

"We are so happy when we have good elements that lend themselves to our work. We cannot have any greater joy. Take stock of the situation by yourselves and draw the consequential conclusions."
