"...There
are two kinds of habits: Promoting habits and
demoting habits. Demoting habits make you unhappy
physically,
mentally, and spiritually. In your life, if you
have all the habits which are promoting habits,
you will
end up as a liberated, divine person. If you
have demoting habits, you will always end up as a
physical
wreck,
mentally unbalanced, and/or spiritually defunct."
" ...Each habit is supported on two tripods: Physical,
Mental, and Spiritual; Past, Present, and Future. “There
are two guiding instincts in man. He is either
improving his future or blocking his future improvement.
If
you are conscious of this, and have an honest and
sincere
urge to improve your future, you will always have
promoting habits. Oh man, if you are to care not
even for God,
at least care for the future. When you care enough
for your future to have promoting habits, you will
become
a liberated person."
”
...Yesterday’s sinner can be a saint this minute.
The only thing required is a decision: ‘Am
I to guard my future and choose to be a liberated
person,
or am I to block my future and go by the material-physical
aspect of the world?" "...Maintain a positive attitude
with promoting habits for forty days, and you can
change your destiny.” Do one special meditation
every day for forty days. Keep a diary of your
progress
and the changes you go through."
