Tests are necessary for humans. Each test is like a musical note in a sad song. The song accompanies a person’s fate for his or her own good, and its effects are beautiful in the end. Everything has its importance; didn’t the greatest saints also suffer? They emerged stronger, and others in similar circumstances are doing the same today. Doesn’t everything have its raison d’être! Without the worries and continuous trials that some undergo, an incarnation would not have its true meaning. It takes time to understand this and to accept what fate holds, in all its diversity. To grow in wisdom – there lies the real goal, and the noblest one. Nothing is simple for any living being; other kingdoms here below are not spared either. Life is a whole, and to each its own fate, whatever it may be. It is so willed for the good of those who live on Earth. Everything is in everything, and it is all taken into account here below. These subtleties are not easy to understand, and it takes time to recognise this reality: the divine power operates at all levels of creation and consciousness. Human beings are small in the face of creation – a breath, a nothing. That is what they are in a material sense, but the energy that dwells in them is more subtle and nuanced. Spiritual work can change them in part when destiny so provides. Everything has its raison d’être, let us repeat it: it is up to each one to become aware of this higher reality; to act for the utmost deepening of that which a spiritual path can provide through such a transformation of life. Everything is possible; it is up to each one to understand it.”
