Faith and patience: if you nurture both within you in order to continue the work you have begun, you will succeed in materializing all your spiritual aspirations. Someone says, ‘But for years I’ve wished for so many things that haven’t come true!’ That’s because you don’t know how to work, or because your wishes cannot be granted yet for certain reasons. If your wishes concern collectivity, humanity as a whole, they are obviously a lot more difficult to realize than if they concern you alone. You wish for peace in the world, but so many other people want war, and so, of course, their wish prevents yours from being realized. That is why many more people and much more time and energy are necessary when you want to work for peace in the world and for the good of all humanity, for it is an enormous, long-term enterprise. But it’s not unachievable. And it would be achieved if a large number of spiritual brotherhoods were created in the world, dedicated to this work.
