es, your caprices and then saying: “I do not belong to myself any
more, I belong to the Divine; it is the Divine who is doing every-
thing in me, who is acting in me”, that indeed is crude enough. I
am speaking of more refined people, a little more noble, who put
on a pretty cloak to cover their desires.
How many things in the course of the day, how many thoughts,
sensations, gestures are turned exclusively towards the Divine in
an aspiration? How many? I believe if you have a single one in the
whole day, you may mark that in red letters.

When I say, “If you are sincere, you are sure of victory”,
I mean true sincerity: to be constantly the true flame that
burns like an offering. That intense joy of existing only by the
Divine and for the Divine and feeling that without Him
nothing exists, that life has no longer any meaning,

nothing has any purpose, nothing has any value, nothing
has any interest, unless it is this call, this aspiration, this
opening to the supreme Truth, to all that we call the Divine

(because you must use some word or other), the only reason
for the existence of the universe. Remove that and every-
thing disappears.
