Love saves one from everything, helping one endure hardships and sufferings of every kind – and there are many in the course of a lifetime. In certain painful circumstances, only the prospect of an 'elsewhere' makes it possible to put things into perspective. Blessed are those who possess this treasure; so many humans are still so limited in their view of things.

To have a glimpse of reality is a rare blessing; following a spiritual path provides reference points and incentives that go far beyond materiality. Being fully involved in an active life does not in any way impede such an approach. Many of our abhyasis are a prime example of this; material and mystical life can fully coexist, creating a perfect balance. The two are complementary, shall we say, as life's difficulties lead human beings to put things into perspective, to reflect on what is essential. For them, there are such joys as can transform an incarnation, each incarnation offering the opportunity to grow in wisdom. Once this very important aspect is understood, there is no time to waste. Everything is counted here below – good or bad. Perfection is not of this world; what matters is to understand that one has to act in the best way in order to one day achieve it. Everything is possible; in this, love and surrender are the most precious and

effective assets, especially when carried by the wisdom and greatness of an incarnate spiritual Master. Determination and courage to all, supported by our love.
