Life on Earth is only a heartbeat, a breath, in the vast movement of creation as a whole. To remain happy and free in this game of short duration is to show some sense of detachment from materiality. This is and will remain the objective to be reached in the long process of a soul in quest of fusion with the Ultimate.

"To remain free is to have sufficient hindsight in the face of ordeals and events marking daily life. It is not easy to achieve and yet, this is key. To go to the heart of the matter, one must be clearly capable of disregarding all that brings one back to being influenced by the world of matter.

"To remain happy in spite of everything is the prerogative of saints. To reach this stage of detachment is a sign of remarkable greatness of the soul. Some of these beings exist on Earth, not many of them, but they generally live withdrawn from the world and from noise. They are nevertheless beacons for humanity.

"To live among one's fellow creatures entails risks, of which we know. Coping with all the vicissitudes of a life among men exposes one to reactions that are humanly uncontrollable. Such is the challenge for a seeker, in the face of life and its many pitfalls. The fight is hard and the victory over oneself is appreciable.

A spiritual process requires some degree of commitment, allowing one to precisely progress towards self-control.

"May all our brothers achieve this in their quest of the Divine, thus illustrating the precious assistance provided by the assets of our way."
