Initial Preparation

Always remember ‘I am nobody’. Losing self-importance is the first step while experiencing our daily life, as we engage in any act.

Be aware of that immense, unknowable Divine power which permeates everything and is getting all things done through us.

We never know why we were born. The purpose of our life is a mystery.

• Despite any favourable or unfavourable conditions in our daily life, if actions emanate through total surrender to the Divine, we can be free from the consequences.

• Being nobody, and acting without the ego brings freedom.

Inner life should adapt to the differences in geography, time and cultures.

Maintain a pleasant composure in the early morning hours.

Happiness or sorrow, life or death are our companions, from birth till death. With this awareness, leave it to the Divine, chanting God’s name.

• Chanting is the most simple way to still a wavering mind. Through this constant practice, future spiritual work can progress easily.

• Being aware of our limitations and defects, take efforts to improve through self-introspection.

• Do not be victims of false pride and image.

• Restlessness is the natural state of our mind. Using will power, try to guide and channelize stray thoughts into a focused positive direction.

• Develop the habit of nurturing good thoughts. Negative thoughts will gradually recede.

• Review your thoughts and actions daily, and analyze the mistakes & wrong behavior. Make resolve to improve through mental repentance.

• Efforts need support of Prayer. Destiny is inevitable. But a strong will power with sincere prayer and unfaltering efforts will lead to favorable conditions.

• We cannot understand the causes when events happen. When no amount of reasoning, clever logical analysis, or actions work, that is ‘Destiny’. One can only experience this.

Surrounded by unfavorable and hostile conditions, many times we feel utterly powerless and are driven to take solace with someone or some unknown power. The role of human effort and intellect comes to standstill.

This can be known only by self- experience.

• Walking along the path suggested by the Master, with complete faith, one can discover and fulfill the purpose of human life.
