SRI KRISHNA (BHAGAVADGITA) The smallest effort is not lost, Each wavelet on the ocean tost Aids in the ebb-tide or the flow; Each rain-drop makes some floweret blow; Each struggle lessens human woe.

CHARLES MACKAY

On the spiritual path, no effort goes to waste. Even if we meditate only thirty minutes every morning and try to practice the allied spiritual discipline to a small extent during the day, this can go a long way in guarding us against many dangers, known and unknown. To be truly se cure, we must begin to find a source of security with in ourselves.

We must make every effort to move forward even it is little by little, even if every day we keep making mistakes. Sometimes we are so insensitive and preoccupied with ourselves that when we try to put others first we simply are not aware of their needs. Our mistakes begin to haunt us; but rather than sitting in a corner and crying over the day's errors, or developing a guilt complex, we should repeat the mantram and make sure that we do not repeat the same mistakes the next day.
