My dearest son, You know how much we carry you with love on this difficult path that is yours, haloed with light and yet exposed to the grossness of this world. We would not like to create problems for you with your succession, but what else can we do? At stake is the future of this Mission which is so dear to our hearts.

As we said in a recent message: how can one claim to love one's Master and not respect his choice related to an action that is so crucial and of such importance to the Mission? Unfortunate precedents exist, and they will be repeated after you; human stupidity is really boundless, even in the context of a spiritual path. Alas, we can only observe it and try to make you take necessary steps to minimise, as much as possible, the impact of a choice that will not please those who believe themselves worthy of replacing you. You know only too well these power struggles; they are destructive and we fear for our Mission. Schisms weaken a movement like ours. Nothing has changed, my dear son. You can be sure of it: after you, people's egos will manifest themselves strongly. Humans are disappointing, but that is the way it goes. Hence the advice we gave you previously: you should announce your choice loud and clear to try to calm as much as possible, during your lifetime, the rantings of some people. What else can be added to all this? Time --The Final Step

is going by, but the [same] reactions and events will occur again in this world, which is so disappointing in many ways. We are warning you with respect to your departure – sadly inevitable – when the time for it comes. You still have much to do and to endure in order to complete your high mission. We carry you among the Chosen Ones, with more love than you can imagine.

To you, my dearest son.

Babuji
