Devotion to the Teacher

Urusvati knows how precious is devotion to the Teacher. But how much disagreement there is around this simple truth! Some speak about devotion, though by their very nature they do not understand it. Others insist that such devotion limits the free will, and a third group denies even the need for a Teacher.
Many examples can be cited about people who harm themselves by disturbing the harmony with the Highest Ones. Only a few can understand what a blessing the link with the Higher Ones is; only in this way is the communion with the Supermundane World facilitated. It is impossible to imagine how the earthly opportunity is destroyed.. When there is no affirmation of the higher path, one’s earthly possibilities are lost.
Do not think that the Teacher can realize His intentions if man resists Him. It is not easy to mend the rent web. Sometimes this mending takes more time than the creation of a new web.
Often people complain about the Teacher, not understanding the reasons for His actions. People suppose that their own earthly decisions better serve the purpose, but they do not understand many things relating to earthly life. Only a few understand the value of Teachership. Perhaps their devotion will help them to become worthy of the Teacher.
The Thinker affirmed, “Learn to be worthy of the Teacher.”

Frienship and Reincarnation

Past enemies meet us again in almost every life, and in every life a chance is given to us to change them into friends. This is why when you meet an enemy, remember that it is an opportunity to change rather than continue the animosity. 
In our life we must try to increase friendship because it is through friendship that we can save money,time,energy, and matter and reach our destination sooner. Friends are like walls of protection; they are like sources of experience and wisdom. Friends are those who help you to be more healthy, happy, prosperous, and more enlightened.

Not forcing people to do things

Leave people free and seek not to influence them or to impose your ideas upon them. Your interpretation of them and of their need (no matter how close they may be to you) is not necessarily correct. Leave people free in all respects—with the freedom that you demand and expect for yourself. May I, in all love and tenderness, suggest that the ideas, methods, formulas and ways of living which seem right to you (and are right for you) may be entirely undesirable for others and that, if you force them on those others, their souls may remove them from your influence in the cause of freedom to expand. In this suggestion lies for you the clue to much that is destructive in your best effort and this should convey to you the method for your and their deliverance.
