Coming to our work in Belgium, I should like to say that we have not yet organized so that the work should go on in a way that it ought to go on; and to let it go like this means that we do not love our work properly. Not to do for the work means that the work which needs spreading now is starving of that help which is necessary. Now that I have come I feel still greater hope than I have ever had. I feel that from now the work will go on by every means possible. And only I ask the help of all those here, their kind thoughts, prayers, actions in whatever way you can do to help this work advance in Belgium. In England there are four branches working just now, in Bournemouth (Harrowgate?), London, Southampton, and Brighton; it will spread still more in America; it is growing in France; it is prospering in Holland. Now I am going to Denmark.

I am sure that my mureeds certainly are my great well-wishers. And when they see me work day after day in spite of all the different difficulties and oppositions, and knocking against the stone walls that are in my way and yet going on patiently and never thinking: this is a place where the work cannot go. Never. In England for six months I was speaking to three people; there was no fourth person to be found. If I would have lost courage, I would have gone to my country. I did not. After six months a fourth person came, and he brought a fifth person, and so it went on. We do not know, we cannot say.

After all this work that I have seen and done and now find that there have been terrible disappointments, gloom, and clouds, and feel: nothing can be done here. But I felt like the Prophet Muhammad in the desert, where men as thick as stones would not listen. He was crying aloud wisdom. They would not listen, they threw him out of his country three times, killed his disciples; he still was going on. And what happened? There was a time when the whole Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan, India, China was benefitted by what he brought. But he had to give in the mountains to those who would not listen.

Difficulties before a practical person seem different. He says, "I must have a result." If I would have been waiting for results, I would have gone mad, or have made a suicide. For years there was no result. In Brussels I have been working for two years now. The result from a practical point of view may seem poor. But I have some valuable mureeds still. One may be more valuable than a thousand. But from now I feel that the work must grow, and a mechanism must be made, and the whole world must know that the Brussels Society must live. And I am sure that by the help of my workers in Brussels there will . . . God Bless You.
