tion, in order to succeed simply in forming, oh, simply this little
thing, one’s own way of thinking! One believes one has one’s
own way of thinking. Not at all. It depends totally upon the
people one speaks with or the books one has read or on the
mood one is in. It depends also on whether you have a good or
bad digestion, it depends on whether you are shut up in a room
without proper ventilation or whether you are in the open air;
it depends on whether you have a beautiful landscape before
you; it depends on whether there is sunshine or rain! You are
not aware of it, but you think all kinds of things, completely
different according to a heap of things which have nothing to
do with you! And for this to become a coordinated, coherent,
logical thought, a long thorough work is necessary.
And then, the best part of it is that when you have succeed-
ed in making a beautiful, well-formed, very strong, very power-
ful mental construction, the first thing you will be told is, “You
must break this so that you can unite with the Divine!” But so
long as you haven’t made it, you cannot unite with the Divine
because you have nothing to give to the Divine except a mass
of things which are not yourself! One must first exist in order to
be able to give oneself. I am repeating what I said a while ago.

Give your body to the Divine
Truly, in the present state of the world, the only thing one
can give the Divine is one’s body. But that’s what one doesn’t
give Him. Yes, one can try to consecrate one’s work! But still,
here there are so many elements which are not true!
You want to merge your body in the Divine, eh? Just try!
How are you going to do this? You can merge your mind, you
can merge your vital, you can fuse all your emotions, you can
fuse all your aspirations, you can fuse all that, but your body
— how are you going to do that? You are not going to melt it
