As we have just said: total surrender to the Master is the most important aspect of any true spiritual process. The living Master has a predominant influence on the progress of the candidate. Resistance is sometimes tough, only time and the abhyasi's obstinacy to continue his work can manage to overcome it. Another stage of sadhana can start, more profitable and determinable. Many of our brothers think they are in this state of mind, yet it is only superficial. Their hearts remain impregnable bastions, as they are entrenched in old concepts limiting their progress. Only time and Master's patience can overcome this situation. When finally the candidate has become aware of the limitations created by himself, he can take off.

"The Golden Fleece of spirituality is earned through a brave struggle.

"It is up to you to make good choices and to advance on this luminous road, under the enlightened eye of your Divine Master."

Babuji
