Try to give more time to your spiritual practices and less time to useless talking,useless thinking and restlessness of the mind. Then you will do your meditation better with greater intensity. You will also do your work in a more balanced way. Some are too much engrossed in work. Some give themselves up to spiritual practice exclusively,but without success. Work and worship must go hand in hand. Don't shirk duty. Inner and outer life must be balanced. Transmute your work into worship consecrate all work to God.
Adjustment is necessary in life. Adjustment is one of the greater essences in one's life. It brings one to a higher level. As all of us are spiritual entities dwelling in this body,it is always good to use to body in a better way to progress in spiritual advancement.
We may temporarily retire from the world,even if this be a little selfish and then return and meet others in a higher mood. All this is just as important as all the other daily practice of us. You cannot serve unless you have collected something to give others.
Similarly spiritual practice must be done at a fixed hour and never put aside. The constant practice of our spiritual activities develops of out will power. The purpose of all there is the conscious control of all out mental process.A conscious life is an interesting life. Most of us are half awake and half dreaming. Unconscious celebration must become clear,definite thinking . Then alone is life worth living. Minimize your body consciousness.
Have mental freshness ,always have the mind of a youngster. Be a child again. Be born a second time. It is imperative to have mental freshness. Cultivate in consciously . Try to be born in tune with the divine. The waters of life are flowing . Open the channels! Open the windows! Off the bad air! Let there be freshness within always.
It is diffcult to find the necessary sense of propotion in dealing with others. Be strong so that others cannot take advantage of you. Don't be touchy,sensitive and nervous. The right perspective must be developed in every spiritual aspirant. Take things as they are. Have adjusment for the sake of peace and think that we have to deal with human personalities. We often prick others. Some people emante good,calm,peaceful vibrations,others bad vibrations and thoughts.
Try to be true to yourself and true to God,then it becomes easier to be true to others. Look upon god as the only reality and learn to look upon all others depending on him for their existence. You must do what you ought to do under each circumstance . But don't be like weathercocks. Don't go on shifting your moods and attitudes. Don't allow yourself top be upset,your life should be regulated by your ideas.Sometimes we try to lean on others too much . Wr look up to them too much ,but human beings are too such frail supports. Some people have their centre of gravity outside,instead of inside. Have your centre gravity within you.
The higher self must be made the centre of your personality ,but then there is a danger,we become self-centred,egocentric.So we must think that the self is a part of God,the centre in us is the centre of a vast space. The point of contact with God is in us. Hold on your centre of consciousness that extends all around it. Some are egocentric at first and then become cosmocentric. At the begining of spiritual practices some aspirants become self centred for a time.
Then they have to do some selfless work to counteract it. Meditation and prayer,when properly done,will also help us against becoming self centred and selfish by enabling us to rise above out little self. We should never attempt to grow at the expense of others.
