Beware of appearances. If Sahaj Marg seems to be stationary in France, and even regress in some places, this is not happening to a significant extent. "We want motivated sincere abhyasis, who do not attend ashrams for various reasons without being sure of what they want. The Mission must be purified and strengthened.

"Numbers are important, certainly, but not at any cost. We do not go around knocking on doors. People who are really ready to undertake a serious process do not leave the Mission over human contacts that are not always idyllic.

"Let us be serious, no group can escape friction. You are in contact with men and women who have their characters, their personalities, which more or less suit you. Those who dwell on such considerations show a lack of spiritual maturity and we cannot retain them; it is sad for them, but what can we do?

"Never base your process on human relations. You run the risk of being disappointed.

"See the most important things: the Master and the priority of the goal to be reached. You should be guided exclusively by the aspirations of your soul."
