"If you do well, will you not be accepted and if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the
door. Its desire is for you but you must master it.” This is the answer given to every man
who fails in any undertaking. This is the answer to every man who has found life to be
horrible and out of control. This is the answer given to every man who experiences
troubles all through the way. This is the answer to every frustrated man on earth.
If you fully comprehend the meaning of this sentence and fully accept it wholeheartedly
then you need no further reading. You can safely close this book and get busy with your
work for whatever you touch turns to gold. But others who do not trust in its truth or do
not know its truth and are looking for practical explanation continue reading.
The world does not operate through your laws or my laws. It already has
its own set of rules. When we live by that rule we naturally get what we
want with ease. When we do not, all effort from our part would be in
vain. The more you want something crazily the more you drive it away.
What you want to attract towards yourself, the more you repel it. This
happens because you are playing by the wrong rules. As the truth says
it all "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.”
Note the word "added". You are certainly going to get more than just
what you asked for. Only then become righteous, as again said "Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be
filled." They will be filled with what their heart desires. What is being
righteous after all?
2. Power of 2 - 3 tremendous
We are not made to live alone. Divinity exists when two or more people
live life together in peace. They make the impossible possible and get
whatever they want and work for. Togetherness is power, well observed
in all the great companies, families, friends, nations. For "Assuredly I
tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that
they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in
their midst.”
A group of men trying to build the first ever tall tower in Babel, and God
in heaven says directing them "Behold, the people is one, and they have
all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

Did the men succeed in building the tower? No. Why? Because god
created misunderstanding between them and so they were unable to
understand each other and the lovely group broke up and power was
gone. Division precedes defeat. A man unable to keep peace with his
fellow men, one who can never assemble people together for a cause,
cannot rise up in his life. He can never experience the divine power
alone but only when he is with the group. Hence the importance of the
greatest commandment “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Also “Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or
house divided against itself will not stand." And so is a task fails when
your effort is divided, when your mind and heart follow different tracks.
4. Law of recompense
The universe operates through give and take. When you give
something, you always receive something. When you are on a fast
(considered giving), and when you declare your fasting to friends, you
receive their appreciation or sympathy (considered receiving). The deal
is done. Fasting is compensated by the sympathy received. The
advantageous way is to fast and let no one know it. Your payment is
then assured with god. And will be repaid to you on time with all the
interest.
“When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, or your
brothers, or your kinsmen, or rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also
return the favor, and pay you back. But when you make a feast, ask the
poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; and you will be blessed,
because they don’t have the resources to repay you."
Choose for yourself what you want - immediate satisfaction or long
term benefit.

“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with whatever judgment
you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure,
it will be measured to you."
7. Humble yourself

What you say is very important. A wrong thought is a sin, when that
thought is let out in words, its double sin. There are two great dangers
with words -
"I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of
God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem,
for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head,
for you can’t make one hair white or black. But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’
and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one."
Remember this when you make a promise, you are in fact boasting
yourself, exalting yourself and as per the law, you have to be humbled,
so forces are set up against you to make sure you fall back and devoid
a promise.
A careful analysis of anybody's success including you, would show you
this pattern repeated all times - a person makes commitment to
achieve something, he goes ahead and takes few successful steps, a
small bit of confidence sets in, meets with some troubles, unable to
surmount it, he falls back, feels how lowly he is, humbles himself,
suddenly the difficulty is overcome and success obtained. Success is
only after a defeat. Success is just after one is broken at heart,
humbled.
"I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it
remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit." When a man
has exhausted his strength and says no more he can, only then the
divine power grants its glory to him.
9. Giving it to others

"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. It is
enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like
his lord."
A helpful approach for people to adopt at any stage of life is the master
- servant concept. Among masters, you be a servant and you would
automatically obey the law of humbleness. Besides that as shown
below, to make yourself great you require to be a servant first. A
servant never boasts in presence of his master. He is willing to obey his
master’s command and hence at once gains goodwill with them. Life is
of less resistance to him and he learns the best from them.
Problems arise when you consider yourself to be above your master - in
intellect, talent. All sorts of resistance sets in from the master as you
make him feel low. Beware! You are breaking one of the eternal laws.

Never wait for lack of something. People think they would start a better
life, open a new business, and do something great when they would
have money, talent, knowledge, experience. They set goals to develop
themselves in areas they feel, they fall short. Hence achievement is

always in future for them. They don’t realize that when they would have
cultivated what they desired for, they would still feel incomplete and
need much more developments. People will always find themselves in
a state of incompleteness and so life is just spent in making
adjustments here and there, with no real life work which would earn
them a name among people.
The truth is, you already have whatever you need to enrich your life, to
fulfill your lifework. Your creator has given you these. Never try to
belittle yourself and feel something lacking inside. Never say I can’t do
this at present but may be in future. Carry this thought in all that you do
and very soon you would have achieved the best in so short a time.
Start it now. Opportunities are always present all times. Never look for
them as existing in future. "A great multitude followed Jesus, and they
pressed upon him on all sides. A suffering woman came up behind him
in the crowd, and touched his clothes. For she said, “If I just touch his
clothes, I will be made well.” Immediately she was healed of her
affliction." Powerful forces are present all times near us, surrounding
us, but we are like the crowd that is irresponsive to it. One can take
advantage of these only if they would think like the woman thought. It’s
all with us, the way we think makes us use or lose opportunities. Never
see yourself complete in future. You are complete, happy, now, at
present.
"His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision useful or not?" He said to
them, "If it were useful, their father would produce children already
circumcised from their mother." Again "Don’t you say, ‘There are yet
four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and
look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. He who reaps
receives wages."
You will only degrade yourself if you focus on yourself, your wants and
wishes. One cannot do good to himself by thinking about himself. There
are only two great laws which embrace all. These are to love god and to
love people. Never is anywhere stated to love or think about yourself.
We are excellent decision makers for other people, but when it comes
to our own all sorts of fears, doubts, emotions, ego set in and cloud the
truth, hamper it. We can handle very well, others property and are at
ease with it. But it’s very difficult to handle our very own, the ones we
love. Hence the saying "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,
and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it."
When one thinks about oneself first, all the elements of the universe
are set against him and start resisting him. When he forgets himself
and starts caring for others, the whole universe starts caring for him, 9
things automatically fall into his lap.
"The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. He
reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have
room to store my crops?’ He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down

my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and
my goods. I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for
many years. You’re your ease, eat, drink, be merry”. But God said to
him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things
which you have prepared—whose will they be?’"
