I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Begin with yourself. There is no time to waste. It is your duty to do your part to bring God’s kingdom on earth.
Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return.
