It is always regrettable when one is open to the influence of
another person. One shouldn't admit any influence except that
of the Divine.
*
To feel hurt by what others do or think or say is always a sign
of weakness and proof that the whole being is not exclusive-
ly turned towards the Divine, not under the divine influence
alone. And then, instead of bringing with oneself the divine
atmosphere made of love, tolerance, understanding, patience,
it is one's ego that throws itself out, in response to another's
ego, with stiffness and hurt feelings, and the disharmony is ag-
gravated. The ego never understands that the Divine has differ-
ent workings in different people and that to judge things from
one's own egoistic point of view is a great mistake bound to
increase the confusion. What we do with passion and intoler-
ance cannot be divine, because the Divine works only in peace
and harmony.
*
You are distressed because instead of listening to the voice of
your soul, you have accepted the suggestions of vulgar minds
and obscure consciousnesses who see ugliness and impurity
everywhere because they are not in contact with the psychic
purity.
Refuse to listen to these wrong suggestions, turn deliber-
ately to the Divine and rekindle your faith in His Supreme Guid-
ance.

The vital of some people calls always for confusion and dishar-
mony, petty quarrels and confusion; they generally have also
a kind of mania of perfection and believe that everybody is
against them. To cure that is most difficult and requires a radi-
cal transformation of the nature.
