Your life, like that of your fellow creatures, is a perpetual search for what cannot be truly found on Earth. This aspiration prepares you for finding it; the way is long, but it leads by stages to what the soul aspires to.

"You found the way into it after a long search. Rare are those who find it from their early youth. Experiences in this field shape the personality and allow the aspirant to make a decisive choice. Each one follows his way, whatever its sinuosity; the main thing being, to come to the feet of the Master who is intended for him. This point is an important milestone in the spiritual process.

"Thereafter, everything becomes clearer; the searcher is guided, and helped. He has yet to practise in greatest confidence, doubt constituting a barrier hindering his progress. This aspect deserves to be underlined once more—surrendering to a Master being essential in any spiritual process.

"Most of our brothers and sisters became aware of this need; love grows in them, marking another important stage, since without it, how could the heart blossom through its progress? All are advancing at their own pace, according to divine laws. When wisdom grows in them they feel the need for complying with it.

"Our way channels a number of souls that is growing according to divine intentions; all can profit from it."
