You have come through a period of great difficulty and danger with no loss of yourDiscipleship2, 470:people who, like yourself, repudiate without any difficulty all separate attitudes and who ever actDiscipleship2, 472:which - when added to the other three spheres of difficulty - often make the disciple feel that hisDiscipleship2, 473:to humanity - a lesson which A.A.B. had much difficulty in learning.
