Swami's life is Swami's message.You should contemplate the lifestyle of the Lord and compare your own way of life to see where you go wrong. The reasons are clear: desire and conflicting aims.
Consider what it is that you are trying to achieve in this life. Consider too, how much time you are wasting on trivial matters that are of no lasting importance.
Create a new plan of life and a new life pattern. Do not let trivial affairs interfere with that plan. Have a definite objective and determine to achieve it. Do not make the plan too ambitious to start with; think in terms of phases, and set a time scale to achieve phase one.
There is always a tendency just to exist and let time pass, but this is not the right way to live; it is time wasted, life wasted. As you get older, time becomes even more precious and it must not be wasted.
Day to day life can continue, but never forget the purpose of life and your relationship with the Lord. It is so easy to drift into habit; the same pattern day after day, and this is one way in which life gets wasted.
Analyse the present position: where have you got to and where are you going? What is it that delays your progress on the spiritual path?
Only you can work out the future pattern of your own life.
Look for happiness, see it all around you, the sight of God manifesting everywhere, in the flowers, in the plants, in the trees, in the people and in the animals. All are God, all are one, all part of the whole. It is that thought that should be constantly in your mind, the unity that exists throughout the universe, the unity that is divinity.
