Soul

"If life on earth were all our lives, then why should we spend a third or a quarter of our lives growing? But if life on earth is not the life, then it is understandable that 70-80 years are not enough to educate a soul. We must continue to learn in other classes. We transfer the strengths gained in the graduated class to a new class. We seek a wider and wider location for the roots for further development. A new land, a new milieu, new absorptions are necessary to further our spiritual muscularization, enlightenment, perfection, and to carry the fruits of our earthly life into another life. The Creator has shown, after all, in other bodies that they can develop in a short time if He wills: the horse reaches maturity after two years. The dog has enough for one year. A hen has enough for six months. The ostrich, as soon as it hatches from the egg, runs so fast that no man can catch it. It would be an imperfection of nature that man should have to grow for 20 years. It is not the body that needs such a long gestation, but the soul."
