Integrity and Sincerity
Integrity and sincerity are not technical skills that can be acquired; they are spiritual qualities that manifest themselves when the covering veils are removed.
Faith
One who has never seen burning fire may be told that it is hot. He believes that statement.
But when he draws near a real fire he feels the heat. He now has faith in the truth that fire is hot.
If he comes into direct contact with it he knows.
Blind
What we usually do with all the great masters is to follow all the convenient examples - what suits me, I follow.
But I cannot do what is uncomfortable for me.
And therefore, when he does what does not suit me, I say, "Oh, He was so great. He was God almighty; he can do that, but I cannot; I can only do this."
I put Him on a pedestal and worship Him - and what is comfortable, nice, and pleasant, I blindly copy.
That won't do.
Life
When that which you love the most - life - is seen as a vehicle that drives you to the grave, a profound change takes place.
You learn to live and to love all.
Do not cling
You take the fullest advantage of every spell of happiness that comes your way, but you don't cling to it. If it goes, it goes.
Therefore you are safe from the terrible distress that formerly possessed you when happiness left you.
