getting along with gigantic strides. It is like that, isn’t it? One must
        do things with all the ardour of one’s soul, with all the strength of
        one’s will; do at every moment the best possible, the best thing
        possible. What others do is not your concern — this is something
        I shall never be able to repeat to you often enough.
            Never  say,  “So-and-so  does  not  do  this”,  “So-and-so  does
        something else”, “That one does what he should not do”— all this
        is not your concern. You have been put upon earth, in a physi-
        cal body, with a definite aim, which is to make this body as con-
        scious as possible, make it the most perfect and most conscious
        instrument of the Divine. He has given you a certain amount of
        substance and of matter in all the domains — mental, vital and
        physical — in proportion to what He expects from you, and all the
        circumstances around you are also in proportion to what He ex-
        pects of you, and those who tell you, “My life is terrible, I lead the
        most miserable life in the world”, are donkeys! Everyone has a life
        appropriate to his total development, everyone has experiences
        which help him in his total development, and everyone has dif-
        ficulties which help him in his total realisation.
        CWM 4:117-18                                              The Mother






             Whatever work you do, do it as perfectly as you can.

                That is the best service to the Divine in man.
                                     *
             Let nothing short of perfection be your ideal in work
                and you are sure to become a true instrument

                               of the Divine.
