Letter to a Young Disciple 1/30/08 It is not the length of years that measures the worth of a life but the quality with which one lives each day. You have most certainly read these words of The Mother:: "As soon as you stop advancing, as soon as you stop progressing, as soon as you cease to better yourself, cease to gain and grow, cease to transform yourself, you truly become old, that is to say, you go downhill towards disintegration.... There are young people who are old and there are old people who are young.
