Like everything on Earth, this state is subject to change however. Prosperity is followed by decline: this is the eternal law. Evil can be held in check for a while but not permanently abolished. It always returns.

Yet, this is not a tragedy. It shout just to keep us from falling into illusion that good fortune comes to us automatically. If we are mindful of the danger, we remain persevering and make less mistakes. As long as your inner nature remains stronger and richer than anything offered by external fortune, as long as you remain inwardly superior to fate, fortune will not desert you.
