"A person's higher nature and lower nature manifest themselves most clearly when he or she has been humiliated or insulted. 'Teach him a lesson; get your own back!' This is the lower nature talking. The higher nature on the other hand says: 'Don't worry, it's not that bad. Instead of brooding and wanting revenge, try to use this muddy quagmire and set about transforming it. You are an alchemist and you will turn it into gold.' And if you listen to this voice you will launch yourself into a fantastic work of transformation and you elevate yourself. Your higher nature tells you: 'Why sit there feeling sorry for yourself when you are being given this incredible opportunity to set to work? You should thank Heaven for sending this person to you and giving you the opportunity to improve yourself, to surpass yourself. Don't sit there moaning.' The true disciple does not listen to the advice given by his lower nature, which keeps him weak, drowning in sentimentality. The true disciple follows the advice of his higher nature because he wants to become strong."

Original Message "A master's disciples come to him of their own free will. The master does not go and find them and force them to listen to him. But, often, what happens? Even though the master is thinking only of their future, of their evolution, and spending all his time and energies being of help to them, when he tells them a few home truths they become upset, annoyed and rebellious, instead of understanding that he is acting for their own good. Why? Because they are still influenced by their lower nature, which feels offended at the slightest criticism. It's not an intelligent way to be.

When your Master is trying to give you the means to get the better of your lower nature, instead of protesting loudly, give him a hand. If you protect your lower nature, you ruin the work of your Master, who is seeking to help you. Work with him instead. When your lower nature sees that no one is taking its side, it will eventually admit defeat."
