Time wasted
Can in some ways be retrieved
October 28th 2016
Some people have come to realize, when they found our Teaching, that they had spent the best part of their life in activities that only brought them dissatisfaction and emptiness! And they confessed their sadness to me: having now reached a certain age, they felt that even if they tried to reorient their life it was too late and that they could never make up for lost time. Obviously, when old age is looming, it is a little late. But it isn’t too late, it is never too late. The worst would be to spend their remaining years in regret. There is always a way to redress the situation inwardly.
For those who feel they have wasted their life, this is the opportunity to take stock of themselves, of all the events in their life, and to draw a lesson from it. Once the lesson has been learned, they must put all their remaining love, intelligence and willpower to work. It is always possible to give their life the meaning they had not thought of seeking out before.
