Every New Year inspires everyone to progress in life but to be able to have a progressive life one has to looks into the causes of the mistakes he has done in his life. The Lord does not look into our mistakes but this does not give one a reason to continuously make mistakes. To progress in religion, economically & spiritually, to attain contentment of the Divine Murti of the Lord, and to please Him, one has to always make an effort to search for the causes of his mistakes.
Whilst in religion, one has to examine whether there has been any improvement or failure within him over the years. Affection for the worldly affairs diminishes by having great affection for the Lord and by understanding His glory.
If we are not cautious on this matter then a disciple will not be able to associate with the Lord. Whilst performing any task he has to keep in mind that he is not going against the Lord’s will.
Disciples who do not act as per the Lord’s will are said to be selfish and can never succeed in life. It is only by understanding and identifying the Lord and His Satpurush that one can manage to act per the Lord’s willingness.
