Death, or the principle of disintegration, of decomposition, is the greatest benefactor: it allows beings to free themselves in order to go further, to go higher. Initiates, who understand the projects of cosmic intelligence, accept the reality of these two principles of life and death, and they strive to work with the principle of life, which purifies, beautifies and illuminates. The principle of life concerns primarily the mental and the spiritual, and those who strive to nourish it with righteous thoughts and generous feelings can delay the action of the principle of death. But even if we do this work, we obviously will not avoid old age or death. We must not delude ourselves: here on earth, human beings will never live eternally youthful. But if we learn to give priority to the spirit, it will keep us fully fit and active, and render us supple and full of joy. The secret of youth, true youth, is this: never stop climbing towards the highest peaks of the spiritual mountains.
