I give you the blessings given to all my children wherever
they are in the world and tell you, "Prepare yourself, my help

Demand of the spiritual life
You say that you wish to lead the spiritual life, but for that
you should understand that the first point is to overcome all
the lower movements, all the attractions, all the attachments,
for all these are absolutely contrary to the spiritual life.
The spiritual life demands that one is exclusively turned to-
wards the Divine and the Divine alone. All that one does should
be done for the Divine; all occupations, all aspirations, all, with-
out exception, should be directed towards the Divine with a
complete surrender of the whole being.
I know that this cannot be done in a day. But the decision
that it may be so should be taken in an unshakable manner. It is
only on this condition that I can accept you for the spiritual life.
CWM 13: 112

life to the realisation and service of the Divine.
