We who walk the spiritual path are those who have enrolled ourselves in the school of spirituality. Our aim should be to pass all subjects, with honour. This means that spiritual understanding and power from God have been so well assimilated that not one of life’s many challenges is faced with equanimity and truth. The heart is merciful and altruistic, never giving or taking sorrow. Feelings are pure, that is, devoid of any needs or expectations, and these pure feelings are shared abundantly with others. And we’ll not have achieved this by becoming a hermit and leaving the world of everyday life; rather, we’ll have remained completely in the world, yet distanced from all its vice and negativity.
Now is the time to become such a successful student of life; I should never doubt myself in this. Trust in God incurs His assistance. This plus my own determination will create the strength to move forward and progress. God is giving me everything. Have faith in this and proceed comfortably on the path to becoming like Him.
