Great things
Are possible when we have learned to first begin with small things
July 4th 2017
Human beings are capable of great things, but only if they begin with the small things; and the greater their ambition, the more modestly they must begin. Those who are successful sense their consciousness expanding, and it is this expansion of consciousness that matters as it provides a foundation and support for the future. On the other hand, setting one’s sights too high can only lead to failure, and this failure diminishes something within and undermines confidence.
When you engage in the spiritual life, do not begin by saying, ‘In some months, or a few years, I will have overcome all my bad tendencies and live in divine light’. This is not possible. Why? Because these are tendencies which you have nurtured over many incarnations and, if you think you will be able to overcome them in a short period of time, you will be faced with failure and will soon become discouraged.
