So, don't ask me to talk to you about anything else, I will always come back to these same subjects: our perfection, the path to follow and the methods to follow it."</span></span></div>\n</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n</div>\n<div class="stack-column" style="display: inline-block; max-width: 25%; vertical-align: top; width: 25%;">\n<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style="text-align: right;"><img class="center-on-narrow" style="width: 100%; max-width: 180px; height: auto; padding-top: 30px;" title="Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov" src="https://www.prosveta.fr/resources/sites/@site_id/images/images_oma/oma_simplebio_5.jpg" alt="Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov" width="180"></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n</div>\n<div class="stack-column" style="display: inline-block; max-width: 25%; vertical-align: top; width: 25%;">\n<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img class="center-on-narrow" style="width: 100%; max-width: 190px; height: auto; padding-top: 40px;" title="Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov" src="https://www.prosveta.fr/resources/sites/@site_id/images/images_oma/oma_simplebio_4.jpg" alt="Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov" width="190"></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n</div>\n<div class="stack-column" style="display: inline-block; max-width: 74%; vertical-align: top; width: 74%;">\n<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align="justify">\n<p style="font-family: 'Montserrat',sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 600; color: #eb773b; text-align: left;">The importance of daily life and the present moment</p>\n<span class="omabio">In this, he always insisted on the fact that <strong>"initiation"</strong> - whose objective is to discipline the physical body as well as feelings and thoughts - is no longer practiced in temples, caves or other subterranean places but in <strong>our very lives</strong>, through a modest and patient work of making small daily efforts.

But, at the same time, he makes us aware of the relationships we need to maintain with the <strong>world around us</strong>, not only human, but <strong>nature</strong> and the <strong>entire universe</strong>. For <strong>spiritual work</strong> only makes sense if, beyond one's personal development, each person is fully aware of the idea that he or she is a member of the great <strong>human family</strong> and a <strong>citizen of the cosmos</strong>.</span>\n<div style="padding-top: 5px;"><span class="omabio">Thus, the teaching of <strong>Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov</strong> invites us all, without distinction of race, nation, religion, social class, to join our efforts to live together in <strong>peace</strong> and <strong>brotherhood</strong>.</div></span>\n</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n</div>\n</div>\n<hr>[bloc_oma:text]
