If a man develops patience, tolerance, peacefulness, and the inner patience, contentment, trust in God, and praise of God; if he develops the four higher levels of consciousness: judgement, subtle wisdom, divine analytic wisdom, and divine luminous wisdom; if he develops virtues, and good conduct, and the qualities of compassion, love and justice; if he realizes that all lives are his life, and all suffering is his suffering, all health is his health, all hunger is his hunger, and all difficulties are his own difficulties; if he can establish that state and those qualities – at that point of realization will be transformed. He will be reborn from this physical state into another state. He will have understood the reason for his coming to earth and he will have found the peace that passeth all understanding.
