Great upheavals are prepared very long beforehand. That is how it has always been since the beginning of time, not only on Earth, but also in the entire creation where nothing remains permanent. Man, like a will-o'-the-wisp, is following his path here below, continuing beyond that which must be for him in the great set-up relating to human nature.

"Creation has so many wheels that they cannot be analyzed and understood by the creature, whatever it may be. It will indefinitely remain mysterious. The divine power cannot be measured; it is prodigious and imposing, commanding respect and total devotion.

"When man understands wherein lies the necessity for his acting with a view of his liberation, he finds by himself the way intended for him. He must first of all become aware of his smallness, and grow in humility and wisdom. Otherwise the doors will remain closed to him.

"To have a Master on one's road means that one has already come a long way before meeting him; 'When the student is ready the Master will appear,' as they say. That is the way it goes. Our fervent abhyasis, in spite of their weaknesses inherent to mankind, were ready to reach the feet of the Master, as was inspired by pious and very fervent beings.

"That is a great privilege in this life where all the rest is mere illusion, swept away when the being incarnated on this Earth has breathed his last. In that moment everything takes on its full meaning for him. How will his future be beyond this life? Another mystery peculiar to the destiny of each one, which it is wise to think about from now on, in order to better consider the future."
