No one can deny that technical progress is a good thing, but because it concerns the material plane exclusively it exposes humanity to great dangers. And I am not even speaking of weapons, which are becoming more and more destructive. I am speaking of other dangers such as carelessness, laziness, passivity and loss of will. People will say: ‘But should we give up all this progress, then?’ No, but, instead of abandoning themselves to an easy life with the idea that these discoveries and innovations will solve all their problems, human beings must restore their equilibrium by means of their spiritual activity. Such activity will allow them to continue to develop and grow stronger. Instead of extinguishing the spirit, all material progress must encourage them to rekindle the spiritual flame within them. This demands vigilance, or else the very progress that should enable them to blossom spiritually will eventually destroy them.
