The True Aim of Life
Why are we on earth?
To find the Divine
who is in each of us and in all things.
Only one thing is important, it is to find the Divine.
For each one and for the whole world anything becomes useful if it helps
to find the Divine.
Life is meant for seeking the Divine. Life is realised
when finding the Divine.
Let this be our one need in life, to realise
the Divine.
Yes, to live in the consciousness of the Divine Presence is the only
thing that matters.

To want only what the Divine wants in us and for us, is the one

Concentration
The movement that stores
up and concentrates is no less needed than the movement that spreads and
diffuses.
13 April 1935

Concentration does not
aim for any effect, but is simple and persistent.
Concentration on a
precise goal is helpful to development.
The more we concentrate
on the goal, the more it blossoms forth and becomes precise.
The Yogi knows by his capacity for a
containing or dynamic identity with things and persons and forces.

SPEECH AND PRACTICE
It is not enough to
know, you must practise.
It is not enough to
pretend, you must be.

On the path of Truth, in
order to know more you must put into practice what you already know.
A little bit of sincere
practice is worth much more than a lot of written or spoken words.

A drop of practice is
better than an ocean of theories, advices and good resolutions.

Speak less, act more.
Talk little, be true,
act sincerely.
To listen is good, but
not sufficient ― you must understand.
To understand is better,
but still not sufficient ― you must act.

NARROWNESS AND ONE-SIDEDNESS
The whole trouble comes from the fact that you cannot harmonise with someone unless he is in agreement with your
own ideas and his opinion and way of doing things are in conformity with yours.
You must widen your consciousness and understand that everyone has his
own law. It is necessary to find the ground of understanding and harmony in a
happy combination of individual wills and not to try that all may be the same
in an identical will and action.
One of the chief obstacles to the establishment of a progressive harmony
is our eagerness to prove to an opponent that he is wrong and we are right.
I am happy about your new arrangement; let

Progress and Perfection in Work
You will become more and more perfect in your work as the consciousness
grows, increases, widens and is enlightened.
7 October 1934
*
In all action, all work done, the degree of perfection depends upon the
degree of consciousness.
To work in the Divine's way is not easy
for a blind
and egoistic person like me. By that I mean: to work
unegoistically and to keep myself open to your force
so that it may work unhampered in me. Am I
right?
Yes, it is
correct.
Judging by that standard I have no right to
work for
you at all; but it is also not
desirable, perhaps, to cease

Faith and
the Divine Grace
FAITH
Faith is spontaneous
knowledge in the psychic.
Faith is a certitude
which is not necessarily based on experience and knowledge.
Faith ― confidence in the
Divine and the unshakable certitude of the Divine's Victory.
It is good to have this
unshakable faith ― it makes your path easier and shorter.
True faith does not
depend on circumstances.
Faith in spiritual power
must not depend on circumstances.
A faith based on
material proofs is not faith ― it is a bargaining.

FEAR
Fear is always a very
bad adviser.
It is the fear ― more or less conscious ― which does almost all
the mischief.
Without fear nothing can happen.
Do not fear, keep your
confidence, all these troubles will leave you.
With my love and
blessings.
Stop fearing and the
bothers will stop also.
A child of mine cannot
fear.
Blessings.
My protection is always
with you and nothing bad can happen.
But you must take the
decision to shake off the fear and then my force can work fully.

Difficulties
THE CAUSE AND UTILITY OF DIFFICULTIES
The difficulties are
always due to a resistance, some part or several parts of the being refusing to
receive the force, the consciousness and the light put upon them and revolting
against the divine influence. It is rare that somebody can surrender entirely
to the Divine's Will without having to face one or another of these
difficulties. But to keep steady one's aspiration and to look at oneself with
an absolute sincerity are the sure means to overcome all obstacles.
Surely all these
troubles come from a resistance somewhere, something that opposes the work of
transformation.
Always circumstances
