In the spiritual sphere,
the responsibility for success or failure is
entirely one's own. You have no right to shift it on to others.
The fire will rage only as long
as it is fed with fuel. Hence, do not add
fuel to the fire of the senses.
Detach the mind from the evanescent
and attach it to the eternal. Plant
the seedling of devotion
by the practice of remembering the Lord's name.
That seed will grow into a mighty tree
with the branches of virtue,
service, sacrifice, love, equanimity, fortitude, and courage.
