"Am I what I ought to be?

Am I doing what I ought to be doing?

Am I progressing as much as I should?...

What should I learn in order to make my next progress?

What infirmity must I cure?

What shortcoming must I overcome?

What weakness must I get rid of?...

How can I become capable of understanding

and serving the Divine?"

( CWM, Vol. 12, p. 384)

"Supreme Lord, Perfect Consciousness, You alone truly know what we are, what we can do, the progress we must make in order to become capable and worthy of serving You as we want to do. Make us conscious of our capacities, but also of our difficulties, so that we may be able to surmount them and serve You faithfully."

(Ibid., p. 381)

(The above two citations, meant for the students and the teachers of SAICE, were formulated by the Mother herself.)
