By accepting the responsibility for the sin or a bad quality within us, our hearts get worry free, mind gets peaceful and chitta (ચિત્ત) becomes joyful; at the same time we should have a clear vision and awareness towards our firm determination and efforts to remove it, just like clear vision of our imperfections. We need to win over this negative aspect with constructive energy and effort. Without the awareness of this constructive energy in our heart, the awareness of the only faults will sink us in the whirl of despair and we will be discouraged. The firm determination (do or die) of not living with our faults and bad qualities has tremendous energy and strength and it is not going to go away. The determination cemented with the efforts of heart and mind can never stay idle. It wakes us up, makes us move and continues to give us the strength to live life. If you experience these happenings then believe that it is true determination. These are the signs of true determination.
