HOLIDAYS
Shall we say holy days? There are two kinds of them: traditionally, the Lord for six days (or aeons) worked to create his world and on the seventh He stopped for rest, concentration and contemplation. This can be called the day of God.
The second one is the men, the creatures, during six days work for their personal interests and egoistic motives, and the seventh they stop working to take rest and have time to look inwardly or upwardly, in contemplation of the source and origin of their existence and consciousness, in order to take a dip in It and renew their energies.
It is scarcely necessary to mention the modern manner of understanding the word or the thing, that is to say, all the possible ways of wasting time in a futile attempt at amusing oneself.

Sweet Mother,
Some children ask me what is the best way of spending their holidays here.
It is an excellent opportunity to do some interesting work, to learn something new or develop some weak point in their nature or their studies.
It is an excellent opportunity to choose some occupation freely and thus discover the true capacities of their being.
Blessings.
