Revision history [back]
 | 1 | initial version |
Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. That's life. The trick is to not get resigned to a yo-yo life. Up and down. Up and down. If you look at each new day as a fresh start, a clean slate with no mistakes in it, then the past does not matter. The only thing that matters is what you do now. Self-discipline is just that: the creation of a positive habit through repetition until it becomes a part of you which you never have to think about. The sequence is: Sadhana -> Aradhana -> Prabupatti. First you DO sadhana. You get up in the morning. You stay awake, you fall asleep, you struggle. After a time, it is no longer a struggle. It is a habit. Part of your daily routine. No thinking. No questioning. No recriminations. No guilt. Just part of your day... every day. Finally... there is no Me. There is only Thee. Then the entire universe serves you in every moment and all your desires are pre-fulfilled in a manner far beyond anything you could dream of.
