Keep the goal always in front and the flame of aspiration burning within despite the inner and outer difficulties. Most importantly live with the thought that the Mother is always with you. Offer all you do to Her and try to make your life worthy of Her Presence. It takes a long time to develop sincerity and one must be very patient. The starting point is to practice mental honesty, that means not to lie to oneself, to be conscious of one’s motives and never to deceive oneself by giving favourable justifications for what one does.
Affectionately,
