RESOLUTIONS FOR QUICK SPIRITUAL PROGRESS
Chalk out a routine for daily practice and try to carry it out.
Make a few resolutions for practice during the New Year as shown above. Any of the resolutions may be crossed out, added to or altered, to suit the individual temperament, convenience or stage of development.
Do not abruptly change your nature or mode of living. You can grow and evolve quickly in the spiritual path, develop your will power and control the mind and the senses by sticking to the resolutions.
Ask all your friends to maintain such resolutions, Thus you can elevate many from the quagmire of Samsara (cycle of births and deaths).
