Sweet Mother, how can we escape from other people's influence?
By concentrating more and more totally and completely on the Divine. If you aspire with all your ardour, if you want to receive only the Divine influence, if all the time you pull back towards yourself what is taken, caught by other influences and with your will put it under the Divine influence, you succeed in doing it. It is a work that cannot be done in a day, in a minute; you must be vigilant for a very long time, for years; but one can succeed.
First of all you must will it.
For all things, first you must understand, will, and then begin to practise – begin by just a very little.
