FRIENDSHIP

And finally, isn't the best friend you can have the Divine, he to whom you can say everything, reveal everything? For there indeed is the source of all compassion, of all power to efface an error when it is no longer repeated, to open the way to true realisation. It is he who can understand all, heal all, help you always on the path, help you not to fail, not to stumble, not to fall, but to walk straight to the goal. He is the true friend, the friend of good and of bad days, he who can understand, who can heal, who is always there when you need him. When you call him sincerely, he is always there to guide and uphold you — and to love you in the true way.
