In a way like ours, we do not impose anything, only the true aspiration of the abhyasi matters. We are not authoritarian; with us, there is no 'brainwashing'.

"An important action is going on in Europe, especially in France, against spiritual movements which are far different from religions. It is worrying because these well-organised actions are geared towards a deprivation of individual freedom of action. This country cannot regress and revert to the obscurantism that prevailed for so long. It is necessary to be patient and wait for people's minds to actually open up.

"Old Europe is lagging behind in many aspects. It is not the leading light of the world any more and has not been for a long time. In many fields, it has a long way to go to catch up. Also, there are two powerful forces that are confronting each other, good and evil, with all the resulting frictions.

"As far as you are concerned, do not lose the thread and do not let yourself be affected by negative comments concerning your way of seeing and leading your life. Your heart is the most precious lantern you can possibly have; trust it to guide your steps."
