This is how good finally triumphs

"Cosmic Intelligence has not given equal powers to good and evil. But how can we convince human beings of this, when most of them claim to see only the triumph of evil everywhere they turn? The fact is that they have not observed carefully. Consider someone whose life is characterised by dishonesty, spite and violence. Perhaps, at first, he succeeds: he asserts his independence and he achieves his ambitions. But then what happens? He will find more and more obstacles in his path; complications will arise in all areas of his life; and he will lose his peace of mind and even his health. Someone else decides to dedicate himself to the service of good: to begin with, of course, he encounters difficulties, but in spite of them he senses the support of the powers of light. As time goes on, the obstacles will disappear. People around him will begin to understand and appreciate him, and give him their support. This is how good finally triumphs."

The good exists, and not only does it exist, but over time we cannot help but observe that in the end it always triumphs. Well then, you must never become discouraged on the pretext that you see evil creating havoc everywhere in the world. Maintain an unshakeable faith in the good, or eventually you will even lose faith in the good within yourself and will be subject to the greatest dangers. Suppose there is only evil at work around you (which after all is not the case!); it is always possible to cling to the good within you and to reinforce it, to intensify it. Doesn’t this give you a conviction and an activity which, no matter what happens, encourages you and gives meaning to your life?

Good always prevails over evil, just as life always prevails over death. Death only appears to exist. Look around you: everywhere you see life, and death is nowhere. It is only a change of scenery…or of costume! You say: ‘But if you murder someone, the evil you commit is permanent.’ Not so. In the first place, only the physical body has been affected. The spirit, which is immortal, continues to live, and sooner or later the person will return to earth in a new body. As for the murderer, even if he escapes human justice, he will not escape divine justice. One way or another he will have to make amends for his crime. Evil, like death, may appear victorious at first, but this victory does not last. Whereas the good, although under siege in the beginning, will, like life, triumph in the end.
