Something to Think About

We are accustomed to pick out faults in other people. But this is not the way of spiritually inclined people. A satsangi or anyone keen on spiritual progress should try to find out his own faults and endeavour to give them up, one after the other, rather than find faults in other people. It is only a sense of superiority and of being above others that induces this habit in us, which is the very opposite of humility.
_{Maharaj Charan Singh, Light on Sant Mat}

The world is full of temptations, and a traveller on the higher path should expect them to cross his path and test him. Satsangis are warned to this effect. Not only is the path beset with temptations in this world but inside also. Maharaj Ji used to say that a person who succumbs to temptations here will not be able to stand the temptations inside. Temptations are tests and show where we really stand. Yet if a person fails once he should try again, for we fall but to rise. With faith and confidence strengthened by the memory of the fall, let him spur on and work with redoubled zeal and caution, and beware of the snares of the mind. The Master helps and guides and saves you at critical junctures if you turn to him.

There is a window within you, which opens towards the Lord. To open it is as easy as to open any window of your house.
