"The process of self-purification is not the work of a moment, nor of a few months but of years – nay, extending over a series of lives. The later a man begins the living of a higher life, the longer must be his period of probation, for he has to undo the effects of a long number of years spent in objects diametrically opposed to the real goal. The more strenuous his efforts and the brighter the result of his work, the nearer he comes to the threshold. If his aspiration is genuine – a settled conviction and not a sentimental flash of the moment – he transfer from one body to another the determination which finally leads him to the attainment of his desire."
