Forget the outside world and your sufferings that are so well hidden from the eyes of men, but not from ours; nothing escapes us, you know it. The beauty of the heart is for us a haven of peace in this greatly troubled world. This planet Earth is not a place of delights. From our level, we see only what is beautiful, as well as sincere hearts that are advancing against all odds towards a kingdom of peace and love. It cannot be won over easily; it takes much effort to divest oneself not only of what is useless, but also of anything that can cloud the aura of a being, however willing he may be to win over this kingdom where love reigns. It exists, you can believe it, but it does not let itself be approached easily. Reaching it requires perseverance, faith and, above all, love – the most beautiful, the purest possible. A spiritual journey like ours fosters this ascent; it is not easy. In addition to the Master’s work, the aspirant too must make a great effort to fight his weaknesses. There is no magic wand for that; such a process requires human efforts. Some traits are unacceptable and steadfast attention is required to neutralise them. Where would victory lie if it did not entail a necessary struggle to divest oneself of what is useless so as to offer to celestial augurs what is best: a pure heart full of love – this love that can transcend materiality and win over, as a rider on its most noble mount, the reserved and sacred spaces where wonder takes place. Efforts always pay off, so you say in this world. This is not wrong. Although concepts are different here, surrender and love are the primary qualities for entering the kingdom of Ultimate Peace.”
