If we develop real longing to follow this path, we must change our living habits, communication skills, understanding of our behavior and level, right from its fundamental base. Shree Bhagwan can be our close friend if we have the genuine longing to flow towards Him. Just as a stick to the blind, He inspires and guides us. This can happen only when our mind, intellect, chitta, prana and ego are following Him. If we show heartfelt enthusiasm, faithfulness and honesty in taking right steps of this path, we will definitely succeed. It is not much important if you took half a step or full step. The most important thing is whether we had enthusiasm and honesty of heart and mind, faith, sincerity and understanding of the purpose of taking these steps. We must pay attention to all these while we follow the path.
There are three Gunas Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. We must understand clearly which Guna is predominant in our nature. If we feel we are slowing down, then we must find the ways to be active. We will never progress if we continue to be the same. We will definitely feel our enthusiasm and happiness within, if we really want to try and progress.
There must be strong determination and that means, we act as we have decided. Acting in any other way, we may lose our life but should never go wrong way. We cannot progress in this path without firm determination. We may use our intellect to think about it but its superficial understanding never gives us any forward movement. Its understanding is like constantly changing witch. For this reason, we do not need understanding of intellect. We will follow the Bhavna with heartfelt enthusiasm. That is the right way to win.
Other thing is, if we are faced with circumstances where right steps need to be taken towards development of life, we must possess enthusiasm, eagerness and stage (level of understanding) to accept it in its true sense (Swikaratmak Bhumica).
