Once
we choose our course in life, there is no point in complaning
about situations, difficulties or problems that we may have
to face. A householder's life has its ups and downs. Conflicts
in the mind arise due to dual and contradictory purpose in life.
Surrender and insistence on one's will cannot go together. It
is we who carry the load of all due to our sense of doership,
possessiveness or ignorance and then, when tired, blame others.
Do your best to please the Lord and not any man.
A
principle in Spiritual Living is: "Remember the rights
others have over you, and forget the rights you have over
others!" We have duties, no rights or demands.
No
one can give you rest. You will have to learn to take it.
Whatever
goal you have chosen to pursue in life, BE FIRM and determined
in your efforts to realize it!
Never
believe in anything unless it happens.
Do
not hesitate to act.
Have
faith in the inherent goodness others.
Expect
that tragedy can strike you at any moment. Do not be surprised
when misfortune comes into your life.
Learn
to be flexible in your everyday living.
Adopt
the ways of Nature. Her method is one of Patience.
