The power of self-control

Your power of self-control is the tree of eternal freedom.

In the spiritual life, self-control is most important, significant and fruitful. No self-control, no self-realization. In the dictionary we come across hundreds of thousands of words. Of all these words, self-control is the most difficult one to practice. How can we practice self-control? If we want to have self-control, we have to surrender ourselves to the Source. This Source is Light; this Source is God.

If you are really great and good,

Then every day you must highly appreciate

Your dedication-life,

For it has given you 

The power of self-control.

And to your extreme joy and satisfaction,

Nobody else but you yourself

Has command over you.

Puterea ta de auto-control este copacul libertatii eterne.

In viata spirituala, auto-controlul este cel mai important , semnificativ si fructuos. Nu avem auto-control nu avem realizare-de-sine. In dictionar intalnim sute de mii de cuvinte. Din toate aceste cuvinte, auto-controlul este cel mai dificil de practicat. Cum putem practica auto-controlul? Daca vrem sa avem auto-control, trebuie sa ne abandonam Sursei. Aceasta Sursa este Lumina, Aceasta Sursa este Dumnezeu.

Daca esti cu adevarat mare si bun,

Atunci in fiecare zi ar trebui sa tii la mare pret

Viata ta de dedicatie,

Caci ti-a dat

Puterea de auto-control.

Si spre marea ta bucurie si satisfactie

Nimeni altcineva decat tine

Nu are control asupra ta.
