Rejoice In Atman

Lead a life of intense activity. Keep always a calm mind. Mentally repeat your Ishta Mantra.
Mix with all. Serve all with Atma Bhava. See God in them.
Do not be afraid of difficulties and failures in the spiritual path. Difficulties will develop
your will-power. Failures are stepping stones to success. Use your intelligence, sagacity,
discrimination and commonsense. You will overcome the difficulties one by one.
Stand adamant. Be cheerful. Dismiss fear and anxiety. March boldly in the spiritual path.
Do not be discouraged. Draw courage, strength and power from within. Be cautious. Thou art
Invincible. Nothing can harm you. Remain serene always. Smile and rejoice in the Atman.
