Q. What is ‘the right spirit’?
A. It depends on the case, my child. The right spirit is the will to perfect oneself, or the will to be calm, or… it depends, you see, on the circumstances.
It means that in each circumstance, there is a spirit that is the suitable spirit, the one you ought to have, the attitude you must inwardly take. It depends on the case.
For example, as soon as one feels a wave of physical disequilibrium, of ill health coming, well, to concentrate in the right spirit is to concentrate in an inner calm, a trust in the divine Grace, and a will to remain in physical equilibrium and good health. This is the right spirit.
In another case, one may feel a wave of anger or a fit of temper coming from outside; then one should withdraw into an inner calm, a detachment from superficial things.
When in confusion, one must put oneself as far as possible in contact with one’s psychic being and the divine Presence in one, present the problem to this psychic consciousness and ask for the true light, and try to listen and receive the inspiration. In each case, it is the right attitude.
