| We and Our Destiny1 |
| We are responsible for what we are, and Whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; SO WE HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO ACT. |
| Go on doing good, thinking holy thoughts continuously, that is the only way to suppress base impressions. Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits; and repeated habits alone can reform character...... The chaste brain has TREMENDOUS energy and GIGANTIC will power |
| We can overcome the difficulty by CONSTANT PRACTICE. We must learn that nothing can happen to us, unless we make ourselves susceptible to it |
| It is the coward and the fool who says," THIS IS FATE "'- so says the sanskrit proverb. But it is the strong man who stands up and says, " I WILL MAKE MY FATE ". It is the people who are getting old who talk of fate. Young men generally do not come to astrology |
