ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- STUDY

                                        Chapter –II                                       

Study


Your study is of great importance to you both at present and in future. The proverb runs, “As you sow, so you reap”. The future of a man is generally shaped and determined by his present action. The beginning of every noble action is generally accompanied by pain , toil and tear while its achievement at the end is full of pleasure, peace, comfort and glory. It is through study alone that you can enter into the great and master minds of all ages and countries. It is also the best means to avail the company of the wisest and the best. The field of study is vast like boundless ocean. You are to swim across it like a bold sailor with full resource of your power and merit. Therefore, acquire the habit of study from an early age.
Let your study enjoy an atmosphere of calm and solitude as this is almost like a place of worship where the great and noble souls are silently waiting. You should, therefore, devote yourself in study with patience and perseverance. Sink deep into your studies to extract the essence. If any subject appears dry and difficult, go through it repeatedly until you grasp it.  In this way you will develop a grasping power which would help you to understand and enjoy the subject which was so long difficult and uninteresting to you.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- FAITH

Faith

Faith is unreserved confidence, trust or belief in the existence of something. Faith is a wide term extending millions of gradual steps – starting from blind belief and ending in the full realization of a thing. Look to the creation. What is the best of the creations? If the answer is Man, then the question arises – how is he so? It is because of having responsibility for exploring ways and means in the path of faith.

Faith is that which directs our activities. We undertake a good work, because we have faith that it will yield good and we shun an evil because it will do us harm.
