High ideal - hold fast to it despite the unpleasantness that you will have to face

Always bear in mind that it is not because you have a sublime ideal that the whole world will recognize your efforts and good work. For even while you are inwardly in a state of joy, you will constantly be faced with all kinds of unpleasant situations on the outside. Yes, for a long time you will feel a great difference between the inner world and the outer world. Not only will there be those who oppose you, but there will also be unscrupulous people who, seeing you as a ‘sucker’, will hasten to take advantage of you. They will try to get everything they can out of you, and then leave you flat without so much as a word of thanks. But that does not matter. Persevere in order to hold on to the blessings showered on you by your high ideal.
