Throughout the twenty-four hours abide in the awareness of the Presence of God. Then only can there be hope of Realization. Who can foresee at what moment He may choose to reveal Himself? This is why one must ever keep wide awake.
 
Let your thoughts dwell constantly on the Supreme Reality — endeavour to let your mind be absorbed in THAT.
At all times be truthful in speech, uncompromising in self-discipline, and devote yourself to the study of books of wisdom and to satsang. Cherish the company of those who are helpful to your quest, avoid those who distract you — in other words, hold fast to the Good and shun the merely pleasurable. If you live in this spirit, the help you need will come to you naturally — unasked.
 
Day and night should be spent in the quest for God (sadhana bhajana ). The desire to find Him has to be specially fostered. To be a human being means to place first and foremost the desire to know One’s Self. Except for the little time necessary for the service of the family, all the rest must be devoted to japa, medita tion, the reading of scriptures, worship, prayer, self-dedication. Yearn and cry for Him for His own sake. If opportunity arises, seek satsang. Whenever this is not possible strive to keep the constant awareness of God’s presence enshrined in your heart
