Understand clearly the aim of your life. Chalk out the line of work that is congenial to your
aim. Work hard to realise the ideal. Have your ideal before you and try every second to live up to it.
Develop a strong desire to remove carelessness and forgetfulness. Have confidence in your
own powers and faculties.
Keep up your mental poise amidst the changes of the world without consideration of
success or failure, gain or loss, pleasure or pain. Have the mind always rooted in God amidst
activities. Use the blowpipe of “Teevra Vairagya” and intense concentration to kindle the fire of
devotion.
