Saving people - wanting to do so is not enough
Now that esotericism is in fashion, there are people who think that, once they've read a few books and more or less understood them, they are capable of opening a school and having disciples! Will they really be able to enlighten them and help them to change? Well, no, for to be able to change people you have to have changed yourself first. A young girl loves a boy who is an alcoholic or a drug addict, and, convinced she is going to rescue him from his vice, she marries him. It's a good thing to want to save someone, but what is she going to save him with? Does she have enough knowledge? What happens is, not only does she fail to save him, but she may be driven to drink and drugs herself. So many people think they can stay just as they are and change humanity! They don't ask themselves, 'Do I have the knowledge, the love, the light, the purity, willpower and moral strength required?' They see themselves as capable, that the fact they are there, that they exist and want to do it should be enough. Unfortunately it isn't, and they fail.
