You all say that you appreciate these messages and draw the quintessence from them. They represent a teaching for those of you who want to put all chances on your side.

They do not address the majority of abhyasis, who consider this kind of effort completely superfluous: 'I am a piece of raw wood; the Master must make a masterpiece out of me, full stop.'

This is the general mindset in the Mission. It is an attractive idea, but it's not very realistic.

It is also a reality since you can truly advance only through the work of the Master, who is irreplaceable.

Don't think that this inner transformation does not also come from unfailing spiritual practice and relentless work on yourselves.

Willingness to change your way of being, by observing your behaviour in a strict manner, is necessary; one does not go without the other.

With this state of mind, you consent, your heart is opening to grace, you are eager to receive, you prepare yourself to be worthy of this mutation that is taking place inside you.

The Master can do everything, yes, he can do a lot, but not in spite of you.

Without will and perseverance, you delay your progress.

Work on yourselves, be malleable. If we insist so much, it is because it is important to know.

Souls who are ready understand this. You can get an idea of yourselves by the way you react to what we are saying.

Accept our criticisms as blessings; they represent our interest in you.

If you accept them with gratitude, it shows that you are no longer under the total domination of this 'little master', which is your ego.

Keep working on all fronts, tackle everything at once.

Do not follow the others, be in the pack, but out in front. Be strong, do not neglect anything that can help you, do not lose sight of the purpose of the journey.

Be vigilant, and as we love to say: be lions, not sheep.
