Finish What You Begin.....................
We are not always sitting down concentrating on a flower in the search for the Self. Having decided that Self Realisation is the ultimate goal for us, go on living our normal life. Everything that we do in life can collectively be channeled toward the ultimate goal, for what we need is a dynamic will and strong willpower.
Will power is the channelling of all energies toward one given point for a given length of time. This will can be brought out from within in everything that we do through the day. It's a powerful will. It's available to everyone. It is channelling the rarefied energies of the body, of awareness itself, into attention and concentration upon everything that we do through the day.
How do we cultivate the willpower? What do we mean by will? Will means that if you're going to complete something, you complete it. Finish that which you begin. Finish it well, beyond your expectations, no matter how long it takes. If you are going to do something, do it well, no matter if it is a simple task or a complicated one. If you're going to read a book and intend to finish the book, then read the book, finish the reading of the book, and understand what it had to offer you, for that was the purpose for reading it.
It is not developing a strong will by having a lot of half-finished jobs. It is not developing a strong will by starting out with a bang on a project and then fizzling out- like............. "soda bottle enthusiasm". These only attach awareness to that which it is aware of and lead us into the distraction of thinking the external mind is real. Then we forget our inner goal of Self Realisation because the subconscious becomes too ramified with, basically, our being disappointed in ourselves, or the willpower being so diversified, or awareness being so divided in many different ways that whatever we want to do never works out because there is not enough will, or shove, or centralisation of energy, or awareness is not at attention over the project enough, to make it come into completion.
A tremendous will is needed on the path of Self Realisation, of drawing the forces of energy together, of drawing awareness away from that which it is aware of constantly, of finishing each job that we begin in the material world, and doing it well, so that we are content within ourselves. Make everything that you do satisfy the inner scrutiny of your inner being. Do a little more than you think that you are able to do. That brings forth just a little more will......................and when you feel you are being slow down or loosing interest seek advice and guidance from Guruji..........and this will just set right things..................and
"Do what you want and not what you know."
