701 (PENDING MATTERS/ PEACE/ QUIET/ SOBRIETY)
Do not leave
matters pending…
These will
not let you
rest… (that is, to
turn towards
yourself and towards
God calmly and
quietly…)
702 (PESSIMISM/ SADNESS v’s OPTIMISM/ JOY)
Be a
“positive” person
(I do not mean that in the evil occult sense!) and have
good and
optimistic thoughts…
Do
not be like those who are “thirsty” in the midst of the “desert” and
watch their flask half
empty and
feel that they are in danger of
dying of thirst…
On the contrary,
be like those who
“see” that there is still
half a flask
full of
water and that they
will make it (always with the help of God).
Make sure you
understand what I am saying…
