For some, these truths are very difficult to hear and to bear, but for the disciple who has decided to advance and evolve they are magnificent

Because the disciple is at first like a very young child whose mother must feed him, protect him and caress him, his master begins by offering him encouragement and tenderness. Then, when he grows and is steadier on his feet, the master begins to educate him. He tells him certain truths which the disciple needs to hear, and in doing so he begins to chisel him, sculpt him, mould him. Or, if you prefer another image, he administers a treatment with several injections and minor surgeries. Yes, this is what truths are: adjustments, shocks or operations. For some, these truths are very difficult to hear and to bear, but for the disciple who has decided to advance and evolve they are magnificent, because he sees at last what weighs him down, what holds him captive or causes him to make mistakes. Only those who are truly touched by the grace of God ask their master to speak the truth to them, even if it is painful.
