46. The difficult mission
Our difficult mission is patience
with coarseness and rudeness,
with ignorance, negligence and lack of feelings
for naturalness, for the obvious and for religion.
Our problem is that we are wise,
which is a most unbearable responsibility,
since that obliges us to teach humanity
by our examples to grow and improve
as spiritual beings into something better.
Just to be and to work is our mission,
but just as long we just keep at it
maintaining appearances and our high standard of love,
the good news is in the long run
that we cannot fail.
