We can, simply by sincere aspiration, open a door sealed within us and find that something which will change the whole significance of life, which will answer all our questions, solve all our problems and take us towards that perfection to which we aspire without knowing it, to that Reality which alone can satisfy us and give us joy and poise and force and life that are durable.
All that you have heard many times.
You have heard, — yes, there are even some who have been so accustomed to it that it seems to them to be the same thing as drinking a glass of water or opening the window to let in the sun.
We have tried a little, but now we are going to try seriously.
The starting point is will, to will truly, to have need of it. The next step is to think of that above all. A day comes very soon when you cannot think of anything else.
That is the only thing that counts.
And then you formulate your aspiration, you throw up from your heart a true prayer, expressing the sincerity of the need and then… well, we shall see what is going to happen.
Something will happen, it is sure that there will come something. That will take a different form for different people.

Only way to do this seems to be what the Mother points out for us : Remember and Offer.
But one seems to forget it most of the time. To be discouraged, however is no solution.
