The ways of God are manifold, but they all lead to the same goal. The depth of commitment and the love it arouses allow a significant step forward. This power of love is critical; reason is not enough, as its arguments do not have the same effect and the same depth. When the heart is touched by grace, the aspirant understands the need to act. An incarnation is very short compared to eternity; what does it mean in the present moment? Time is truly short. Every day offers the opportunity to advance, to understand the true meaning of life. So much effort is required, but it all ‘pays off’, shall we say. Following a spiritual way is a sign of open-mindedness; all is grace indeed, and the many tests which humans must face are necessary for their evolution. The Greatest Beings were never spared – such are the laws of life. There is much to understand. Seeing by means of the heart prevents judging and the ensuing feelings of resentment. Criticising is equivalent to getting oneself dirty. May all become aware of this and act accordingly. Life is not easy, and every step is decisive. Reaching the goal is, and will long remain, the key objective. Everything is taken into account; it is up to each and every one to act as best they can. May all our aspirants progress and achieve the goal. That is our wish and the reason for our unceasing action.”
