"We have to accept that people have to go through their own path. We cannot pull the plants to make them grow faster.
Even our children, even people are dear to us, you know. We have to accept that."
In this dialogue, Francis responds to a question many truth seekers know very well: “How can I minimise — or completely get rid of — these situations where I feel I totally lose control?” Watch the full satsang: https://youtu.be/3HwgLnTa3lI

Feeling bad for “losing control”?
A clip from the November 2025 Thanksgiving Retreat in Temecula. Francis responds to a very human question:
“How can I minimise, or even completely get rid of these situations where I feel I completely lose control?”
Also on this video:
- the sense of lack and our usual strategies to escape it,
- why every psychological suffering rests on the belief in a separate self,
- and how liberating glimpses and the honest facing of lack meet “in the tunnel” from both sides.
