Where and how to find the surety and security for success in the sadhana on Godward path?
This bank helps you to keep your money safe when you deposit it with them. They will allow you to make use of it when you are in difficulty. There is another Bank which receives deposits and maintains accounts strictly and confidentially. Every little sum is entered and accounted for : deeds, thoughts, words, good, bad and indifferent. Open a deposit account there, in that Bank, for your prosperity here and hereafter. That deposit, growing by your spiritual efforts, will give you joy and peace. This bank will give loans if you mortgage your house or lands, property that has come down to you from your ancestors. That Bank also will allow you to draw upon the accounts of previous births, and deposits made then.Sometimes, this bank will grant you overdrafts, so that you tide over temporary crisis; the extent of the overdraft is settled by the Manager with reference to your reliability and capabilities. It is like the Anugraha (Grace), that God will confer on you when you have earned it by Sath karma, Sath chinthana, Sath bhaava, Satsanga and Namasmarana (good deeds, good thoughts, good feelings, good company and constant contemplation on the name of God and the glory it seeks to express).
