Bodhayanti Parasparam – Vol 10
5. But we should not be always thinking about our defects and lapses. We need to concentrate upon what we are to be and the ideal with the faith that since it is our goal before us it must and will come. To be observing faults and wrongs always, bring depression and discouragement to the faith we need to have always in ourselves and the Master. We need to turn our eyes more to the influx of Pranahuti that brings lightness and less to any immediate darkness. Faith, cheerfulness and confidence in the ultimate victory are the things that help; they make our progress easier and swifter.
6. Success is possible only when we are committed to be true to ourselves and are determined to change our past and be firm in the new found path of Satyapad. We have to be friends with ourselves; otherwise we would ourselves be inimical to our reaching the goal. This is what Lord Krishna stressed in his famous Bhagavad Gita in the sloka
‘Bandhur aatma aatmanastasya
Ye naatmaiva atmana jitaha ;
anatmanastu satrutve vartet aatmaiva satruvat:’ B.G. Chap 6, sloka 6.
7. On this auspicious day I pray that we again pledge ourselves to work for our betterment and joyously participate in the transformation of humanity.
Pranams.
