The Guardian of the Threshold

When the esoteric meditates and returns to everyday life, when he has to go among people again, feel their coldness, their selfishness - and his own selfishness - he will notice that meditation has given him a new strength that will become an armor for him during the day: He will more easily become aware of temptations and will more easily overcome difficulties, both within himself and around him. And whatever happens, he must never forget that all esotericists receive a special power from the hierarchies that work to give people a conscious connection with the spiritual world. We must never completely leave this out of our consciousness, it should lie in us like an underground. But there we will never lose heart either, and we will experience that power is sent to us to overcome difficulties and dangers.
