Suppose you want to do something, don’t say “I will try!” say “I will do!”

If you say “I will try” it may take more than a thousand years to develop the proper psychology to reach your goal. So there is no question of trying.

The question is of being.
To be, not to try.

If you want to help someone, you should help him a little at first, not all at once.
You should help a person in accordance with his needs, not too much, not totally helping – otherwise he will not try for his own development.

You help him a little, then let him stand on his own, and he will automatically take up activities in his own spirit and with his own ideas.

There are three categories of human beings. The first category comprises those who thoughts, words and deeds are the same – which means that whatever they think, they speak, and whatever they speak, they do. Such people are A-class people.

The second category comprises those whose thoughts and words are different, but whatever they speak, they do – which means they think one thing and speak another, but they do whatever they speak. Such people are B-class people.

The third category comprises those whose thoughts, words and deeds are different from each other and never the same. Such people think one thing, speak another, and do something altogether different. Such people are C-class people Most of the leaders of the present-day world fall into this category.

You should try to become A-class people. You should speak what you think, and you should do what you speak.

From the inanimate to the animate goes the process of evolution.

Consider a piece of stone for instance. It has neither the power of action nor the sensation of mind. What is the reason? It is because hitherto there has been no manifestation of mind in the stone at all.

Consider the trees and plants that are more animate than the stone. There is activity in them. They grow, draw the vital juice from the earth, maintain their species by creating seeds in their own bodies, and enjoy and suffer pleasure and pain when taken care of or hurt. We see in them the manifestation of consciousness, for mind has awakened in them.

Thus progressing on the path of mental development, we see in humanity its greatest manifestation. Just as evolution takes place from the subtle to the crude, similarly the unit entity reverts step by step from the crude to the subtle, towards the same Absolute Consciousness from whence it came. It is just like the waves of the sea, rippling back from whence they have come.

Action in the spiritual sphere involves a constant effort:

“I don’t care about any material or worldly bondage; I will keep moving towards success, crushing the pebbles of obstacles and hindrances beneath my feet.

I won’t admit any mental confusion; I will move like a meteor towards supreme fulfilment, crushing and rending asunder all negative thoughts in me.

If an obstacle becomes as high as the mighty Himalayas, I will laughingly shatter that also; and the small hillocks I will stride easily across.

And in the spiritual sphere, I will jump over the philosophical defects in the form of dogmas that are scattered here and there like holes in the ground, and become one with the Supreme Divinity.”

Whenever considering doing good works, do not hesitate – do them immediately. Whenever contemplating doing bad works, linger and delay, so that the thought of performing them will wither away from the mind.
