The ascent of a mountain is made in several stages. The higher one goes, the more difficult it becomes. Each step must be measured, carefully considered, and one's determination must be great.

The summit is the goal. All efforts are geared towards that. The more the mountaineer advances, the more his or her thought is imbued with a sacred quality regarding the achievement of the undertaking.

This is how you all must be in your personal climbing.

In the moments when you stop to assess your advancement, you realize the distance travelled.

You feel a great joy in saying to yourself, ''On no account would I want to go backwards. Nothing in existence can bring me the equivalent''.

Union with the Divine gives an unadulterated happiness. Furthermore, your life on Earth must continue without neglecting your professional and familial obligations.

There also, you all must follow your path to the end. Don't worry about that, great Masters have managed and still manage both aspects side by side.

We do not ask you to live like hermits on some mountain:

the mountain is in you, uniquely, the summit to be reached is there.

It is a magnificent project, you can accomplish it. It is the most beautiful objective you can have.

Try to correctly balance your life, do not neglect any aspect of it.

Make others happy. Make yourselves happy, advancing cheerfully towards the goal, with our blessings.
