January 08, 1914

LET us shun the paths which are too easy and without effort, those paths which engender in us the illusion that we have arrived; let us shun the negligence which opens the door to every fall; let us shun the complacent self-admiration which leads towards every abyss. We must learn that whatever our struggles, whatever even our victories, compared with the path still to be traversed what we have already travelled is nothing, and that all are equal — infinitesimal particle of dust or the same divine stars — in face of Eternity.

But Thou art the conqueror of all obstacles, the Light which illumines all ignorance, the Love which overcomes all pride. And no error can persist before Thee.”

The text above is quoted from the Third Edition, 1954 (translation by Rishabhchand Samsukha)
