Overcoming Worry...

"The descent of the grace of the Master is conditioned, however, by the preliminary spiritual preparation of the aspirant..

One of the greatest obstacles hindering this spiritual preparation of the aspirant is worry.

When, with supreme effort, this obstacle of worry is overcome, a way is paved for the cultivation of the divine attributes which constitute the spiritual preparation of the disciple.

As soon as the disciple is ready the grace of the Master descends,

for the Master, who is the ocean of divine love,

is always on the look-out for the soul in whom his grace will fructify."
