 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>I am asking only for the sacrifice of
\nignorance, unconsciousness and the limits of the ego − but for what a marvellous<\/span> and incomparable gain ! <\/span><\/p>\n

7 May 1937 <\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let your life be useful. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let your life be a constant search for the
\nTruth and it will be worth living. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let all your life be entirely and
\nexclusively governed by the Supreme. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let your highest aspiration organise<\/span> your life. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Keep your aspiration ardent and sincere
\nand never forget that you are the child of the Divine; it will prevent you from
\ndoing anything unworthy of the Divine children.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>All depends on the attitude of each one

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>All depends on an inner attitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>To rectify and to efface: both are possible,
\nbut in both cases, though in varying degrees, a transformation of the nature,
\nof the character, is needed. What is wrongly done must be changed in oneself
\nfirst, before one can hope to change the consequence of one\u2019s action. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It is only when people truly want their

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>A change of consciousness and when our
\nconsciousness will change we will know what the change is. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Do good for the love of good and not in

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Which is the easiest way to forget

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It is only when we are not disturbed that
