True Battle and Conquest

To overcome self  in the jungle of life is the foundation of truth and wisdom. The process is one of orderly growth, like the growth of a tree  and as fruit  can be produced by carefully  and patiently  training the tree, even so the pure and satisfying  fruits of holiness can only be obtained by faithfully and patiently training the mind in the growth of right thought and conduct.

When men fail to overcome  their shortcomings and errors, it is because they try to begin at the wrong end. Indeed, never misuse your power if you cannot use your position to help people then consider and reconsider your steps. Never hurt any man but in your little way always clamour for the happiness and blessings of others.  No man passes the stage of victory without prevail upon his own errors and shortcomings .
 Always check and control the wrong act, such as an outburst of temper, a hasty or unkind word, a self indulgence  and never allow them to take any form. This is equivalent to the gardener  cutting off the useless buds and branches from his tree. It is necessary process but a painful one. The tree bleeds while undergoing the process  and the gardener knows that it must be done to ensure successful growth . The hearts also bleeds when it refuses to return passion for passion, when it ceases to defend and justify itself .
By subdue oneself is only  the beginning of self conquest, hence the heart must be purified  to avoid hypocrisy, that is,  hiding of one’s true nature and striving to appear better in the eyes of others than one really is, in that caseit is  evil.  Train your habits in your private life to have a public good character. Every secret evil shall be revealed to light.
E must endure in the face of challenges, consider every challenges of life as true alternative to learning then  improve your life and your soul  through sound mental, emotional, spiritual and physical growth and divine understanding.  Endurance is a process in which one silently endures the pain  which arises in his own weakness and not in the wrong attitudes of others toward him , because the latter being merely the means by which errors and mistaken  are brought to the surface  and revealed to him. He then gradually free all others from blame  in his falls  and lapses of conducts and accuses only himself and so learns to love those who thus unconsciously reveal to him, his shortcomings and errors.
Hence we must eliminate all wrong from the mind, act, deed and speech  as it appears. Conscious strength  and divine joy begin  to take the place of pain and the mind become extremely calm, a good disciple strive to gain deeper insight into the complexities  of his mind and thus  understand the inception, growth and outworking of errors and shortcomings. For when you have knowledge of your errors and eliminate  them totally from the root, that is the evil seeds in the mind is  cut off , it can no more  be allowed  a place in life, it is abandoned for ever, then mind is at peace. The wrong act of others no longer arouse pain. He is glad, calm, peaceful and wise, filled with divine love and perform all his activities with total blessedness and commitment without complain, criticism and condemnation. Here, total victory is attained.
Work on yourself on daily basis, focus on your improvement, never listen to the noise of the market (never listen to the gossipers),  concentrate on what  give you joy, success and happiness, think less of those things that cause you great pain. Life is too short to indulge in gossip, criticism and condemnation. Contribute in  your little way to make others  happy and  greater blessings shall  be your lot  and your generation,
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL THE TIME.
