FAITH
The meaning of faith is that one should firmly link up his thought with the courage of the teacher. Faith itself is existence or substratum (base) on which Realisation begins. Faith is that unbreakable link which, once established, cannot be broken. An abhyasi who does not develop faith can never progress.
We have no faith in the oneness of God. We are partly influenced by environment and partly spoiled by association. The Western culture also made an impact to a certain extent. Thus when it had already deteriorated, wrong spiritual training completed our fall, with the result that we were separated thousands of miles from spirituality.

THRIFTINESS
Try to be as thrifty as possible. By thrift I do not mean miserliness such as to inconvenience the children.
