This compilation delves into a study of five aids for inner growth, “gifts” from the Grace which acts as an evolutionary force behind the appearances of life to lead and guide humanity towards the divine realization which is its destiny. The five aids are aspiration for progress, will for progress, faith and trust, difficulties and suffering, and the psychic being. Selected passages provide the reader with definitions of key concepts such as the roles of personal effort and surrender in the will for progress, understanding the relation between desire and aspiration, and learning to recognize difficulties as the means to make a swifter, more complete progress.
