So many people associate the word ‘sacrifice’ with the concept of loss! Why? Because they haven’t understood how and for what they should make sacrifices. True sacrifice is never a loss; on the contrary. Each sacrifice you make for a noble idea, a divine idea, is transformed into gold. That is the secret: which idea you work for. If you work for yourself, to satisfy your instincts, passions and greed, all the efforts you make are in fact wasted energy. That is what you must know: how important the idea is behind any given action. An idea, a divine idea – that’s where the magic lies; it’s the philosopher’s stone that transforms everything into gold. That’s why I tell you: work for light to triumph in the world, for all human beings to become aware of the bond that unites them as brothers and sisters, for the kingdom of God to come on earth. All the sacrifices you make for this idea are transformed into gold, in other words, into health, beauty, light and strength.
