Your being feeds on love; in this aspect you already belong to our world. Let yourself be carried by this magical rising tide; nothing is equivalent to this feeling. Yes, it is I, your new mentor. All of us cannot come. It is necessary for the moment to limit ourselves to our work; we cannot misuse your strength.

"Our brother Ramakrishna whom you love is an exemplary figure. He had also suffered a lot and had experiences that left him in self-doubt. It is the strength of his love that enabled him to overcome it and to accept all his physical and moral torments. His experiences, which were very hard to live, were commensurate with his strength.

"Nothing unbearable can be expected of a being; do not forget it. Grace accompanies such a process. Souls, like his, illuminate the Earth which carries them. His life was an example showing how many means the Almighty possesses to shape the souls devoted to Him."

The Venerable
