«Peace, true peace is a stable and constant inner state. Once you have really achieved it, you cannot no longer lose it. It follows you everywhere. You may say that life is but a series of ups and downs: successes and failures, abundance and poverty, health and illness, joy and sadness, and so on – it is impossible to always feel at peace. Yes, once you have learned to re-establish, day in and day out, the bond between your consciousness and the spiritual centres located in your brain and your solar plexus, nothing will ever really trouble you. You could fall sick, suddenly lose your entire fortune, be imprisoned, persecuted, see your loved ones disappear, if you are solidly tethered to a fixed point within you, this peace will never leave you.
Light is the very essence of the universe, and by working with our thoughts we can extract a few particles from it and assimilate them into our own substance. We find this light in the sun especially, but also in the air, in water and in all the foods we use to nourish ourselves with each day. Once we possess a little of this light, we have the potential to magnify it. How? By making it merge with divine light. This merging is what it longs for more than anything. But there are certain conditions: in our soul, the path that leads to divine light has to be cleared of all impurity, as impurities prevent merging from taking place. By purifying ourselves we dispel the obstacles that separate our light from the light of God, until one day they become one single light, and then nothing will be able to separate them.
