In order to progress in the spiritual path in everyday life, in the first place one must keep one’s heart tuned. Intuition becomes closed when the heart is out of tune. Every individual is meant to have a certain pitch. One cannot be too good, and one need not to be. The question is that one has to be harmonious, friendly and pleasant.

You will always find as a sign of evolution that one agrees easily; if there is a lack of evolution one will agree less. The more one is evolved the more one can agree. This shows that someone who is out of tune cannot agree. To agree one must have harmony within oneself. Depression, ill-luck, bad influences are removed just by keeping oneself in tune. If one is tuned one agrees; disagreement shows a lack of tune. If one is in tune one will have health of mind and body both; it is the greatest healing. There are difficult natures and people of different grades of evolution, but we must try to agree with all. Some say that one cannot remain really honest if one wants to please all. But one need not be dishonest in agreeing with another. The difference is that it is more difficult for a person of a lower state of evolution to understand a person of a higher evolution. By harmony one can hold oneself. The most important thing is to be in tune. When one person is in tune he will tune all others in time. Someone who is advanced and whose opinion is counted, is responsible to keep himself in hand. Then he will rise above all conditions, he will tune the others.

Sometimes it is difficult to get on with people; the best thing is to endure. The endurance of gold, for instance, makes gold precious. Flowers are beautiful for some time, but they soon fade away; they have no endurance. If a person has all good qualities but he has no endurance, then he has no control of himself. A child is helpless, but the sign of being grown-up is that one is independent. An unevolved person is in the hand of conditions. Freedom comes with true evolution. Freedom is an illusion as long as a person is not evolved; it can be attained by evolution. Man begins as a machine, he works by influences. As he evolves there develops in him the faculty of the creator, the faculty of the master, to make his own destiny. The greater the master he becomes, the greater the faculty will be. First he is the slave of destiny, but in the end man becomes master of his destiny. One has no choice when one is the slave of destiny, but afterwards, when one has become master of destiny, one has choice. Our motive is that the soul may evolve every moment of the day. The stage of the master is the fulfilment of destiny.
