The
reactions of attempts at shedding lethargy should appear as development
commensurate with interest and promptness for work. After getting rid of habit
of carelessness and responsibility, a person should appear alert , absorbed in
work, regular and systematic. Human dignity is manifested as ideal traits like
warm—heartedness, civility, nobaleness, farsightedness, wisdom, honesty. Self
restraint, frugality, simple living, compassion are yearning for service to
others. A persistent endeavour should be made to adopt these virtues so that
they become deeply ingrained in nature. People in general lay emphasis on
accumulation of wealth and are ever busy utilizing their enery, time and mental
capability. Those who are busy interested in self progress are advised to
consider wealth and prosperity secondary to the celestial attributes of vitues.
The only way of achieving success in both material and pshychic world is to
develop a high level of character.

The primary Ingredient for Progress of innerself ( Devotion of Excellence )
In the beginning attempts are made to resist the
lesser evil habits,later progressively conquering the worst, older and deeply
ingrained undesirable traits. Earlier smaller successes are conducive to
increase in courage and self confidence with which undesirable traits are
gradually eliminated and replaced by various tendencies. One should not feel
contented only with the inner success and continue the other incessantly. It is
not possible to get rid of the evil traits acquired during millions of earlier
lives by simply making a resolution. ( Indian spiritual research has
established that human life is the ultimate state of progressive evolution of
soul in which the latter may have to pass through millions of lower lower forms
or living beings in the biological kingdom). When resisted these traits retreat
and lurk in some cornor of the subconscious, and at some unexpected moments
appear with the much greater impact. Hence a constant vigilance is
needed.Throughout life one has to be incessantly careful to ward off recurrence
of evil traits of thoughts and behaviour.

The law of acquisition of para--normal capabilities ( sidhi ) by control of invisible forces of nature through sadhana is well established.
The
counsel of close associates is generally conducive to promotion of selfish and
mean activities. Rarely does one come across an environment which is counter
active to the former. Under the circumstances, one is recommended to study and
imbibe the ideals propagated by great man and saintly supper humans. Their
biography and struggle in life for promoting ideals would become inspirational
guidelines. It is generally not possible to meet such persons. Even when an
interaction becomes possible, the time available is too short for fully
comprehending their ideas and activities. Moreover, there is a world difference
in their preachings in public and actions in personal life. Under the
circumstances, the only simple and fool proof method is to study such useful
literature daily and regularaly which is conducive to suggesting solutions to
problems in life and is helpful in upgragtion and progression of moral values.
However the resolve should not end only with reading. An enthusiasm also be
generated for imbibing the advocated ideals in practical life with a view to
finding out ways and means for adopting them. The transmulation requires a
continous planning and structuring and re-structuring or the conceptual
framework. This is the backaground against which the battle of mahabhatrat
within innerself is waged.

Corrupt thoughts are overcome by confronting them with noble thoughts and in practice, bad habits are to be replaced with new good habits
Corrupt
thoughts are overcome by confronting them with noble thoughts and in practice,
bad habits are to be replaced with new good habits. In this process a type of
internal struggle begins . This transformation is not possible casually by
simply wishing. It requires strong will and power of determination. For
inoculation against a disease, vaccine is produced from the virus of the same
disease. To remove a thron a sharp implement is needed. A physical assult is
resisted with a strong physical force. To defeat an army, another army is
required. For destroying a strong tank, anti- tank misile is used. In a
struggle of any kind commensurate force is required. Similarly, the trendency
of corrupt thinking can be counteracted by application of equally strong current
of rightneous, noble thoughts. In order to extricate oneself from the sphere of
influence of wickedness, an endeavour is to be made to enter an environment of
virus conducive to moral upliftment. It is possible only by taking recource to
study of spiritual litreture ( swadhyay ) and by seeking compny and guidance of
the spiritually wise ( satsang )
