If there is a problem in your life that you would solve,

but by understanding it.
The reasons it exists in the first place is because of the lack of understanding.

where you need to change
so that you can open yourself to a greater degree of good
than you have yet experienced.

an opportunity so powerful
that it literally dwarfs the problem.

become like rungs on the ladder
for each one raises us higher.

they are in our consciousness.

which prevent your consciousness
from uniting with higher and vaster realities.
-Mirra Alfassa, "The Mother"
