Difficulties are sent to us exclusively to make the realization more perfect. Each time we try to realize something and we encounter a resistance or an obstacle, or even a failure - what appears to be a failure - we should know, we should NEVER forget, that it is exclusively, absolutely, to make the realization more perfect. So this habit of cringing, of being discouraged or even feeling ill at ease or abusing oneself, saying, 'There, I've done it again ...' All this is absolute foolishness. Rather, simply say, 'We do not know how to do things as they should be done, well then, let them be done for us and come what may!' If we could only see how everything that looks like a difficulty, an error, a failure or an obstacle is simply there to help us make the realization more perfect. Once we know this, everything becomes easy. page 207 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 6th Oct. - 1958
