Changes - we need to understand whether they took place within us or other people

05/19/2026

When you become indifferent to a friend of whom you were once very fond, you are often think it is because your friend has changed in some way, that they have lost something. In fact, it is perhaps you who have lost the capacity to appreciate them. This is also what frequently happens with disciples in relation to their Master. When disciples are sincere and motivated by a desire to perfect themselves, they see the light and wisdom of their Master. But if they become lazy and abandon their spiritual exercises, turning to other interests, they will no longer see their Master in the same light as before. So, we need to know a few things in order to understand the reason for apparent changes around us. Very often we claim that other people have changed, but first, we must analyze ourselves, and then we may discover that it was actually within us that the changes took place.
