    My Beloved Ones,

    First, I would like to welcome you, because you
    have a longing for the divine; because you
    desire to rise above ordinary life towards the life
    of a seeker and because, despite your worldly
    desires, you have a thirst for truth.

    The people who have felt the thirst for truth are
    fortunate; out of the millions of people who are
    born, only a few ever feel the longing for truth.
    To know truth is a great blessing – but even to
    have the longing for it is as great a blessing.
    Even if you don’t attain it that is okay, but to
    never have experienced the thirst at all would be
    a great misfortune.

    I would like to say that it is not important to know
    truth. What is important is that you have the
    longing for it, that you make every effort towards
    experiencing it, that you work hard for it and
    yearn for it, and that you are determined and do
    everything you can possibly do towards this end.

    If in spite of this you don’t attain it that does not
    matter. But never to have experienced this thirst
    at all – that would be the greatest tragedy...
