Spiritual life is not monotonous; it evolves with time, modifying the inner landscape and the resulting features of the heart. It is enlightening in many respects and it embellishes daily life, insofar as it is actually given the place it deserves. We are not referring here to a fast process simply meant to ease one's conscience, but to a true commitment that puts a being in the most favourable conditions for his development.

"Man lets himself be caught in a spiral of activities, which he often gives priority over what is essential to him, not being really aware of the most important things in his life. Because of that, he must plod along, undergo ordeals, pick himself up and make a fresh start to undergo other ordeals, leading him little by little towards his own reality and helping him to let go of useless aspects. It takes man time to understand where his priorities lie; his natural curiosity unceasingly drives him towards innovation, the pleasure of discoveries and the satisfaction of the senses.

"Thus are human characteristics; exceeding them testifies to a state nearing holiness, which cannot be easily obtained. Work done in our way leads the aspirant to understand the necessity of practice, the cleaning it generates and the assistance it provides on all levels. It is not about repetitive actions leading to nothing verifiable; the results are not measurable objectively, but they reveal themselves in the sincere and persevering seeker who gives priority to his commitment.

"There are choices to be made in life; they are inspired by true motivations. We do not impose anything; we suggest for the good of our brothers who have reached the stage where these choices are to be made.

"May they make them by seizing the opportunities being offered to them! May they all be blessed and helped!"
