The Sunlit Path
One must watch over one’s faith as one watches over the birth of something infinitely precious, and protect it very carefully from everything that can impair it.
The Sunlit Path
The more you give yourself to the Divine the more He is with you, totally, constantly, at every minute, in all your thoughts, all your needs, and there is no aspiration which does not receive an immediate answer.
The Sunlit Path
This sense of one’s own person becomes a kind of cage, a prison which shuts you in, prevents you from being true, from knowing truly, acting truly, understanding truly.
The psychic being is a progressive being, which means that the relation between the psychic being and the Truth is a progressive one. It is not possible to become aware of one’s psychic being without becoming aware at the same time of the inner Truth.
The Sunlit Path
The psychic being is the real individuality of the true and divine individual within you. For your individuality means your special mode of expression and your psychic being is a special aspect of the one Divine Consciousness that has taken shape in you.

The Sunlit Path
To walk on the path, one must be dauntless, and never indulge in that petty, small, feeble, nasty shrinking back upon oneself, which is fear.

Do not lend yourself to the superficial forces which move in the outside world. ... Never decide anything without stepping back, never speak a word without stepping back, never throw yourself into action without stepping back.
The Sunlit Path
This world is a world of conflict, suffering, difficulty, strain; it is made of it. It has not yet changed, it will take some time before changing. ... If you lean back on the presence of the Supreme Grace, that is the only way out.
The Sunlit Path
To learn how to will is a very important thing. And to will truly, you must unify your being. In fact, to be a being, one must first unify oneself.
The Sunlit Path
To be vigilant is not merely to resist what pulls you downward, but above all to be alert in order not to lose any opportunity to progress.
The Sunlit Path
A sincerity which must become total and absolute, for sincerity alone is your protection on the spiritual path. ... For that is your only protection.
