Do not worry about someone taking your place.

"Do not worry about someone taking your place. No one can take
another’s place. We each have our place in the universe, because
God has made us unique beings, endowed with a specific vibration.
On the physical plane, of course, unjust, dishonest people can
succeed in ousting others, but on the spiritual plane this cannot
happen. The place God gives each one of us is absolutely the one
we deserve. In this domain there is absolute justice.
No one creature is able to take another’s place, but each must
develop to the point where it attains the perfection God
envisaged for it. Even if others have a more important part to
play, it rules where it is, because God gave it that place. By
virtue of being alive, each creature secretes a quintessence of
itself, which is specific to it. No other creature can take its
place; it remains unique and irreplaceable for all eternity."

Celui qui se maîtrise lui-même ...

Celui qui se maîtrise lui-même et qui possède le juste discernement de ce qui est à lui et de ce qui n'est pas à lui se trouve au-dessus des circonstances et des conditions qui gouvernent et asservissent la vie des ignorants. En changeant ses états d'âme, il peut agir sur les états d'âme autour de lui et donc sur l'orientation finale des évènements. Ainsi une situation catastrophique peut devenir bénéfique. Celui qui ne convoite pas ce qui ne lui appartient pas est libre. Il a trouvé l'essentiel en lui et il en prend soin.

Human beings have descended from the heavenly regions

"Human beings have descended from the heavenly regions through a
process known as involution. During this descent into matter, as
they drew further and further away from the primordial fire they
took on bodies of increasing density, right down to the physical
body, just like in winter, when we are faced with the cold and
have to wear increasingly thick clothing, from a vest and shirt
through to an overcoat!
Now, on the way up again, human beings must undress,
symbolically speaking, that is, strip away anything that weighs
them down: instead of seeking to amass, they must learn to
renounce, cut loose and free themselves. Amassing encourages
descent. Any thought, feeling or wish inspired by the instinct to
possess clings to the subtle bodies like frost clinging to the
branches in winter. The spring sunshine has to return so that the
frost can melt and humans can recover their true being."
