PRACTICE OF KARMA YOGA
Nothing is impossible for a Sadhaka who has an iron will and strong determination.
You must not be discouraged even a bit by repeated failures. You should know the causes which brought about the failures and should be careful in future to avoid them. You will have to fortify yourself carefully. In your weakness lies the secret of your strength. You will have to stick doggedly to your ideals, convictions and Sadhana despite repeated failures, and march boldly on the path. Say: "Come what may, I will surely come out with perfect success in this spiritual struggle. I will realize the Self in this very birth, nay, this very second. Failures or slips cannot in any way affect me."
I am always ready to help you. My sympathies are ever with you. I will radiate joy, peace and thoughtcurrents of love towards you. I will inspire you. But I cannot do the work for you. You yourself will have to do the work. The struggle and exertion must come from your side. A hungry man will have to eat for himself. A thirsty man will have to drink for himself. You will have to place each step yourself on the spiritual ladder. Remember this point always.
Hey Saumya! Dear immortal soul! Be bold. Be cheerful even though you are on the roll of unemployment, even though you have nothing to eat, even though you are clad in rags. Thy essential nature is Satchidananda. The outer cloak, this mortal physical sheath is an illusory Mayaic production. Smile, laugh,
