9 October 1980
My Supreme Lord,Why am I so unhappy?
“My child, you are unhappy because
Your vital complains against everything.
You are unhappy because
Your mind wants everything to be explained.
You are unhappy because
Your body is afraid of everything.
You are unhappy because
Your heart does not trust anything.”
My Supreme Lord,
How can I be happy?
“You can be happy
Easily, effectively and permanently
If you can think and feel
That you are of the transcendentally beautiful thing, God,
And you are for the universally fruitful thing, God.”
