Each one of you carries within you generations of human beings whose descendant you are

Each one of you carries within you generations of human beings whose descendant you are. That is why, when you are able to triumph over your own weaknesses, you take this inner family along with you on the path of light and freedom. Not only do you help all your ancestors, you also help your descendants, for you pass on to them the inner treasures you have acquired. This is another aspect of the inner life it is good to know about. Working on yourself is all the more important since, in doing so, you improve entire generations: you pass on the fruits of your efforts to them. No one lives or acts solely for themselves; each person lives and acts for a great number of other creatures, for whom they have a great responsibility.
