| path I am showing you means neglecting your life in other ways. You see, my dear friends | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| believe that not enough time remains to enjoy life, and so on. But this way of thinking | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| particular, is not an extra activity in your life that you simply add on to your other | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| path of purification represents the foundation of your life. It is the ground you walk on, symbolically | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| it, you simply shift the tracks of your life, if I may say so, into different channels | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| the effect of awakening in you a new life spark that furnishes you with a heretofore unfamiliar | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| unfamiliar strength, acumen, vitality, and ability to enjoy life as you have never done before. Thus you | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| leisure; you will get more pleasure out of life whatever you may do, whereas now life is | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| of life whatever you may do, whereas now life is still more or less flat for most | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| and this will automatically free a strength and life force that was previously locked or blocked. So | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this path as some additional activity in your life, such as taking up some new kind of | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| rather this path as the foundation of your life; it is supposed to make it into a | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| more out of all the good things in life -- happiness, joy, pleasure -- if your soul | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| friends, this is so. Think back in your life; examine your feelings in these rare moments; analyze | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| who follow a very important spiritual law, embrace life wholeheartedly, without fear, without self-pity, without being afraid | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| experiencing real happiness. So everything you do in life will have more flavor, more awareness, and more | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| will have more flavor, more awareness, and more life spark if you follow the path of self-knowledge | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |

| and determination and proper organization of your everyday life, to spend an average of half an hour | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this is a necessary, self-evident part of your life. Yet, when the question arises whether to do | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| cause great harm, not only in your own life but also in the lives of others. Your | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| long before actual results can manifest in your life. A feeling of deep contentment and peace will | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| more that everything you suffer from in your life, my friends, results directly or indirectly from your | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| that makes you blind to the joys of life. Remember that it is in your own power | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| No matter how busy you are in your life, you will have the time, not only to | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| better. And you will have time to enjoy life infinitely better too when you lose the constant | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| something evil, whether or not it touches your life. To come that far, you have to be | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
