Passage 2

In English

Do not anticipate anything, leave it to Him

The Name of the New Year that begins today is inspiring and auspicious. It is called - -Spiritual Bliss, inner joy, unshakable calm. That name is a clarion call, which must ring in your ears all the 365 days of the New Year - earn , be , become . Cleanse your instruments of Consciousness, devote yourselves to Service so that you might weaken the forces of Ego and strengthen the forces of Social Unity and cultivate and (repetition of Lord's Name and meditation) so that you might rise towards Godhood - these are the steps by which you can earn and establish yourselves in . Engage yourselves in your duties as intelligently and as devotedly as you can; but, carry out your duties as if they are acts of worship offered to God, leaving the fruit of those acts to His Will, His Grace, His Compassion. Do not be affected when the results you anticipate are not produced; do not anticipate at all, but, leave it to Him. He gave you the time, the space, the cause, the material, the idea, the skill, the chance, the fortune, and you did but little of your own. So, why should you feel as if you are the doer? Do your duty, as a sincere . is the name of the year and you are happy it is so. But, what is in a name except what you put into it or extract from it. A man named must be inspired by that Name to manifest in himself the qualities that led into the immortality which his Name attained. If a person carries about with him the name (son of Righteousness), it is only a shameful burden unless he justifies the burden by being as righteous as of was. Or at least, by endeavouring his best to manifest (virtue) in his life.
