Aspiration is a thing to be developed, educated,
like all activities of the being.
One may be born with a very slight aspiration
and develop it so much that it becomes very great.
One formulates one's aspiration,
lets the true prayer spring up from one's heart,
the prayer which expresses the sincerity of the need.
The starting point: to want it, truly want it, to need it.
The next step: to think, above all, of that.
A day comes, very quickly, when one is unable to thing of anything else.
We can, simply by sincere aspiration,
open a sealed door in us and find...
that Something which will change the whole significance of life,
reply to all our questions, solve all our problems,
and lead us to the perfection we aspire for without knowing it,
to that Reality which alone can satisfy us
and give us lasting joy, equilibrium, strength, life.
A constant aspiration conquers all defects.
You must keep intact the aspiration
for active identification with the Supreme.
