That seed will grow into a mighty tree with the branches of virtue, service, sacrifice, love, equanimity, fortitude and courage...

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.
