Daily you have to light the Lamp of Light Eternal in the secret chamber of your heart. Bight knowledge with its right exercise will wipe out your misery, which is ignorance-the greatest enemy of man. Remember, knowledge is within you and never outside. Let me advise you to read sacred things and then reflect upon them. Study the feelings and thoughts that arise within you. Leave the faults of others alone. Look upwards but never look down upon your inferiors. If you study and meditate, if you analyse yourself honestly, you shall surely bury all your weakness in the Light of knowledge. You will rise to the highest level of godliness in time. LIVE UP TO IT. If you fail, rise again, and again and yet again. Assert yourself; and strength will surely come. Sincere in your wish, strong in your resolve, nothing can stand in your path. Once again I say Look ever upwards and onwards .
