It is
necessary for each and everyone to have a specific focus, a
direction, an aim. One has to strive to attain that aim and one has
to be determined. The effort should not be half-hearted. One should
have the sankalpa shakti, the willpower to achieve what one aspires
for in life.
The focus at all times has always been transformation of the gross
nature of the mind. Whether one is a renunciate or a person deeply
engaged and involved in worldly activities, whether you are a yogi
or a bhogi, a recluse or a social activist, success in life is attained
only when the lower, gross and animal tendencies have been
transformed into positive qualities. If depression or frustration,
dissatisfaction, social or financial problems become the cause of the
desire to take one's life, then the soul is not free. The spirit remains
bound by the karmas, by samskaras and desires, and that bondage
of spirit is anti-evolution.
