Do not forget that being able to serve us on the Earth is a blessing. It is a choice many great souls make by asking to come back to help humans. "There is no privileged place to serve the Almighty; whatever the place, what matters is to be surrendered to His will. Therefore, please do not pine to be here and chosen to hold a role He wants you to play. You must thank each day for that and comply joyfully with what is expected of you.

"Think of these great beings who have come to enlighten men and without whom the Earth would not experience such spiritual progress.

"Each one of them must give what they can according to their capabilities, and consider themselves happy to do so. Do not mind how long it will take; time is an abstract concept irrelevant in God's plans."
