Continue Seva, wherever you are. Seek chances of helping others. Never lose an opportunity of using your skills and enthusiasm for the alleviation of sorrow, pain or distress. Again do not omit or neglect or postpone your own particular Sadhana - Study, Japam, Dhyanam, Bhajan, Namasankirtan, and other such disciplines. Above all, have the faith that Swami is with you, at all times and all places. (SSS Vol.7, p. 228)

‘Above all, try to win grace by reforming your habits, reducing your desires, and defining your higher nature. One step makes the next one easier; that is the excellence of the spiritual journey. At each step, your strength and confidence increase, and you get bigger arid bigger instalments of grace.’ (VS, p. 255)
