Excerpts from ‘7 Divine Laws To Awaken Your Best Self’ by Swami Mukundananda
The Law of Incremental Growth – Personal excellence and life mastery can only be achieved by consistent small steps of incremental improvement.
As you strive to improve yourself, the velocity of your self-transformation keeps speeding up. The reason is that any learned behaviour becomes easier with every repetition, until it finally becomes a habit.
The choice we have is whether to bear the good kind of pain that leads to progress, prosperity, knowledge, and enlightenment; or to choose the wrong kind of pain that is initially pleasurable, but later results in stagnation, ill health, ignorance, and discontentment.
The nature of the mind and senses is such that if you give them an inch, they want a mile. But if you practice taming them with firm determination, they soon subside, and you become a better person.
If we become convinced of an imperative reason for doing something, we suddenly find hidden reserves of energy to perform herculean tasks.
When we practice controlling our mind, that is the exercise of willpower. And when we develop suitable beliefs in our intellect, that provides us with why-power.
Amongst all the internal machinery we possess – the intellect is supreme.
