One always requests of God to be alone, because we suffer the weight of companies that affect and impede our inner search. When one is alone, vices and virtues of the soul show up clearly in the consciousness; so, we can direct our efforts to the conquest of spiritual virtues.
Subjects started by this Teaching have, as a whole, an inspiring figure: Maitreya. Maitreya is the human and divine archetype. To request of Maitreya, to think of Maitreya, to wish Maitreya right now, is to create in us that image of perfection; it is to be more and more like Maitreya.
The “TWO WAYS”. This exercise, like all exercises in this series, is very clear and simple; its value rests on these qualities. It permits not only the realization of a perfect exercise, but also simplifies the soul processes.
The “GOLDEN TEMPLE”. What is consolation? It is very hard to know because usually you mistake it for a soft pleasure of the soul. Many times you call consolation the fleeting oblivion of your own work.
