FAITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONDUCT
and to attain to the Supreme Status of Godhood, which is far too high for virtue to aspire after.
It is possible that one may regard some of these rules of conduct (Right Living) as too difficult to be observed. His remedy is to adopt such of them as he can with ease and without putting himself to unnecessary strain. If he is impressed with Right Faith, he will himself soon begin to long for their observance; and will be unable to restrain himself from doing so in the fullness of time. It will be unfortunate if he find fault with them; because that will imply lack of understanding and appreciation of the doctrine of Truth, which will stand in the way of the very acquisition and sustentation of Faith!
