Introduction to philosophical teaching 7
From those few and simple things that we have talked about during these months, one thing clearly leaps to the attention of those who have been able to create a synthetic image of Reality, as it comes from the teaching of the Guides: the manifestation is so complex but, nevertheless, so logical, that from a small detail it is possible, step by step, to raise the curtain on an ever less reductive and fragmentary scenario, in which they are harmoniously inserted and in continuous relationship with each other all the elements that give it shape and life.
For you, children and brothers who are immersed in the kaleidoscopic becoming, everything appears as a continuous changing of forms, as a continuous evolution of situations and life processes that intersect and intertwine in such a complex way that it is difficult for the human mind. truly being able to understand its vastness, and only your imagination and, even more so, your intuition, can come to give you the feeling that everything is already written in every moment in that eternal present, permanent and essential attribute of divinity itself, in which nothing becomes, transforms, changes, evolves, but all is'.
What is essential, however, for those who approach Reality as we are trying to explain it to you, is to understand the concept that it is harmonically balanced and that the law of equilibrium is not only what guarantees its possibility of existence, preventing its disintegration, but also what gives reason for many of its events that affect more closely the life of the embodied being: what appears right and what which, on the other hand, appears unfair in the course of an existence finds its counterpart of justice or injustice in some other moment of one of the many lives that the individual goes through in his evolutionary cycle, to the point that, when he leaves the wheel of births and deaths, a hypothetical balance of give and take over the course of his existence would be perfectly balanced.
This, dear ones, should help you observe more dispassionately what happens to you, without letting yourselves go so easily to pessimism and victimhood; without stopping to think about what luck of what life (what, moreover, for each of you impossible to do) is compensating for your current misfortune, try instead to come to understand that the law of equilibrium also acts both in large and in small loops; so, if you are really unable to consider the great cycle of your existences to find in them the reason and the compensation for your current pain, stop and observe your pain in the today and in the nearest tomorrow and you will realize that, to an objective and dispassionate examination, your pain has already been partially rebalanced by what, thanks to it, you have probably achieved or are struggling to try to achieve: for example, courage in the face of suffering, or the transformation of your frustrated love in participation and support for someone else who, like you, is coping with pain.
In this perspective it can be said that what you do, in the course of your lives, is nothing but a continually reaching new points of balance between the stimuli that the outside offers you and the reactions that your inner self puts in place, so that from these dynamics you will be able to understand some new element of your essence.
Ultimately, it is a continuous development within you of dynamic cycles between balance and imbalance, paths which you will have constituted a different balance from the one you possessed at the beginning of each cycle and from which a subsequent cycle will start which, once again, will lead you to reach a different balance.
It is in this perspective, for example, that it is possible to observe that phenomenon that each of you experiences more or less consciously, that is the transformation of certain inner movements into effects that are reflected on the functionality (and, therefore, on the balance) of your organism, causing what are called psychosomatisms.
They are the result of a balance not reached in one's interiority, at the same time an effect and cause of inner upheavals that tend to show you the way, the path along which you should go forward to reach that balance which, alone, can lead you to the cancellation of the effect. psychosomatic. Remember, dear ones, the moments when you feel in a "black mood", listless, without the will to live, this too, after all, is one psychosomatism, do you think?
And when do you get over those moments? The instant you find inside yourself the way to change your depression with a smile, when you say "enough" convinced of suffering, when you notice the things that, around you, cry out that there are a thousand and a thousand reasons why it is worth living.
Behold, children, in doing this you have gone through what a little while ago I defined a small dynamic cycle, which led you to reach a new balance and, based on it, you will leave for a new cycle that will lead you to a further goal. of your path, to a further balance between what existence proposes to you to live and what your conscience must modify about itself to make its reactivity different and more just to the new situation that you have found yourself having to face.
And so, from a small cycle to a small cycle, each of you will go through the largest cycle that constitutes your continuous immersion in matter to rediscover yourself, in a swing of balance and imbalance which, for you who experience it firsthand, it may appear unbearable, unfair and endless, but which, in reality, leads you by the hand towards a path that takes you further and further away from suffering.
Finally, the moment will come when you will be able to look back and see your entire incarnational cycle and, to your now dispassionate gaze, the perfect balance of what has happened to you will appear in all its perfection, revealing the profound reality inherent in what we say to you by affirming that everything always happens and only for your good.
You will see that every tormenting pain has brought you to a more lively joy and every great loss to a great conquest; you will realize that nothing more and nothing less has been given to you or to any other living being; you will see how your little personal stories have perfectly inserted themselves into the fabric of Reality, guaranteeing its continuity and existence, and you will understand that all this was necessary to satisfy not only your personal need as an individual to rediscover yourself, but also to guarantee the possibility that other individuals could also play the part most suited to them in the Theater of Shadows.
And then, filled with wonder and amazement
for like every smallest need of the smallest being
had the opportunity to be satisfied without, in doing this,
undermine or override the need of others,
you will whisper moved to the Great Director
with a new and greater acceptance and understanding:
«Your will be done and not mine».

In fact, to date, really, in depth, I am still far from being able to say "Your will be done and not mine". I'm even afraid to say the sentence. I trust in fuller profressive understandings. For now I stop to understand but I still don't understand. Thank you
It is so clear that I can only say: it is so! Thank you.
This post from Baba is like the fresh shower that closes the day and the work just finished and you feel that everything is in order.
It is regenerating.
With these caresses Baba encourages you to laugh at those cycles of imbalance which seem so endless that you no longer have the strength, but which instead lead to a new balance.
Sometimes it seems to me to be there, at the stake, in a stagnation that discourages any attempt to raise the horizon and you do not have the strength to look ahead and instead it is a cycle like the others that have already passed. This too will pass. This too will pass ..
Other times, but it's just the other side of the same coin, I experience an unexpected acceleration and say 'wait a minute' and ask for rest. Not so one after the other.
I want a break.
I believe both of these perceptions are fallacious, vitiated by the diaphragm that hides the source.
They are how I interpret them when instead everything could be much more fluid.
The law of balance is truly a blessing because it tells us that there is not only suffering but also joy, there are not only difficult periods but also plans and that each new balance corresponds to an understanding reached. However, I believe that "enough" convinced of suffering "is not an effort of the will, but is reached after continuous observations of the processes and disidentification with respect to them, as the Guides have repeatedly taught us.
