Only the person having firm conviction and iron volition can attain strength and energy. At no stage of karma does he ever hesitate.
They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘mine’ to be united with the Lord. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality.
