Suffering is a common feature in mankind; it is a law governing this world. One way or the other, it happens in the life of a being. It is a mandatory step that does not depend on us; we do not lay down the rules. We, also, have been subjected to them; it is not correct to say that we keep you in this state of suffering.

"We ask you to accept what is inevitable, to transcend your sufferings and to be in a state of surrender in the face of tests which you have to undergo. On no account do we suggest you to ask for them or to hope to go through sufferings for your evolution. Our teachings do not provide for anything of the sort.

"None of you can change your destiny to your liking. What is good for you is not necessarily pleasant to go through, but that belongs to the rules concerning man's evolution; thus it has been since the mists of time.

"Your stay on the Earth is subjected to this system; we cannot change anything about it. We help you in our own way. While advancing, you free yourselves from your chains, which will enable you to escape the cycle of reincarnations.

"Do not forget that we only want your good."
