The

blemishes of the heart have to be washed by the moral life and the

discharge of one's duty. A time may come when you become tired or weak,

then you should pray thus: "Oh Lord, things have gone beyond my

capacity. I feel further effort is too great a strain. Please give me

strength." At first, God stands at a distance, watching your efforts

like the teacher who stands apart when the student writes the answer to

his questions. Then, when you shed your attachment to enjoyment and

take to good deeds and service, God comes encouragingly near. For, He

is like the Sun God, who stands waiting outside a closed door. God does

not announce His presence or bang the door; He simply waits! When you

open the door just a little, the sunlight rushes in and promptly drives

out the darkness from within. So too, when God's help is sought, He is

present by your side, with His hands extended to render assistance. All

that is needed is the wisdom to remember Him and the discrimination to

pray and ask Him.
