(ii) Strive for Perfection

 

15. Only after cutting and polishing several times, the diamond

shines. That is the s hape your life has to take.

16. Introspect. Eradicate your defects.

17. Constantly think of courage, humility, tolerance, compassion,

dispassion, renunciation, patience, truthfulness, cosmic love, purity

and strive to put them into actual practice in the course of your

daily activities.

18. Be fearless. Have purity of heart. Cultivate self-sacrifice and

straightforwardness.

19. Take to the spiritual life; make it real and vibrant.

20. Failure to attain God-realisation is the greatest loss.

21. There is the greatest gain in truth, righteousness and Self-

realisation.

22. Your difficulty often arises, not because you do not know what to

do, but because you do not want to do it.

23. Pursue the right. Know unity. Grow in strength.

24. Do not feel diffident in the face of th daily problems of life.

Face them calmly and confidently. Get through them boldly with the

Divine Name of the Lord in thy heart and on thy lips.

25. Know that whatever the external condition may be, you are

Satchidananda. Thy real nature is peacae and bliss.

26. Worry is sheer waste. It never did nor will ever do any good.

27. If you reflect and discriminate, you will find that the world-

affairs are just a shadowy drama of short duration.

28. This external physical world-show with its meaningless hurry-

burry is fleeting and transitory.

29. The best means of developing Viveka, Vichara and Vairagya is

constant repetition of the powerful Divine Name and regular daily

Japa and Kirtan. You will become fearless and rise above problems in

life.
