Nothing is more difficult than to put the spirit where it rightfully belongs in our lives: in first
place. In fact, except in the case of a few great saints or mystics, the attempt to do so has usually
ended in failure, discouragement and even mental breakdown. In his role as a spiritual teacher,
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov takes care not to provoke any such rupture with the realities of life by
showing us how everyday actions and events can be the foundation of a genuine spirituality.

Get into the habit of seeing the whole of your daily life, with all the things that you are obliged
to do, the events that occur and the beings with whom you have to live or whom you meet at work as a
raw material, a matter that you have to transform. Don't be passive. Don't be content to accept whatever
comes and submit to events: always add an element to that raw material that will animate, vivify and
spiritualize it. This is what the spiritual life really is: the ability to introduce into every activity
a yeast capable of catapulting it on to a higher plane.
