Fragment ID: 13278

Yes, when things begin to descend, they must come down on a solid basis. That is why it is necessary to have peace as the first descent and that it should become as strong and solid as possible. But in any case to contain is the first necessity – then more and more can come and settle itself. Once these two things are settled – peace and strength, one can bear any amount of everything else, Ananda, Knowledge, or whatever it may be.
