Cultivating joy within oneself is an expression of trust and love towards the divine omnipotence and one's Master. To love is to surrender, joyful and determined, whatever may happen; there lies the goal. Without this profound and inalterable joy, the spiritual dimension cannot truly assert itself. The vagaries of an incarnation should not disturb it whatsoever. Is it not the only true power of human beings, able to motivate them in many circumstances? In this holy sanctuary, in the face of their true nature, they can glimpse the hidden meaning of their existence and see the way they have yet to go to find fulfilment according to the aspiration of their soul. A happy and surrendered heart attracts grace. How can one resist it. Only its fervour is expressed, creating a rare energy worthy of the Holy of Holies.

Joy is an emanation of the soul blossoming in its most ethereal aspects. May our aspirants understand its reality within the framework of such a decisive process for them. This inner jubilation of a being is exalting; the source of all benefits, it makes one grow and become stronger in one's journey.

It is good to draw the attention of our brothers and sisters to this aspect of the sadhana, giving them the true dimension to be discovered within themselves. This long search is full of discoveries, which become clearer with time and illuminate the inner landscape – an enchanting one in many regards. Without joy, faith cannot live, as it lacks one of the most essential aspects of the profound nature of the subtle being:

the divine life in all its uniqueness. Joy is food for the soul; it deserves this lengthy comment. May it be understood and put to good use. The most secret meanders of the spiritual life are revealed by it – it is inalterable in its divine principle.
