What you all note within the group is the reflection of human behaviour in general. The abhyasis are no exception to the rule.

Difficult situations must evolve for the better, and protagonists must acquire a wisdom that they particularly lack. They cannot give what they do not have. While believing they act for the good, they make errors. They will be replaced and other problems will emerge; there is no end to this system.

We take note of the facts, we rectify what can be rectified and let our aspirants mature.

These organizational and administrative problems should not discourage our brothers and sisters; our method is not at issue. Practising abhyasis are not perfect, that would be too good.

So we have to put up with certain behaviours we deplore. They are not, alas, specific to this ashram.

You all have to advance against all odds. Take the best that presents itself and ignore what you dislike in others' doings. We cannot settle everything or purify everything with a wave of a magic wand.

That doesn't mean giving up. We are working to iron out these problems inherent in all human groupings.

Try to set an example of tolerance and acceptance; you will help us.
