Why not excel in everything you do? To be good at anything, you have to keep on practising until you have mastered it. Why do you imagine that you can have perfect results in this spiritual life if you only dabble in it? Stop being a dabbler and plunge in whole-heartedly. This life calls for everything you have to make it work, so why not give all you have and see what happens? It does not matter what it is in life, nothing will live and become part of you until you have put it into practice and have seen how it works. Start right now getting down to the art of living this spiritual life. Keep on experimenting with it, and be not put off if you do not get immediate results. Simply go on applying the principles and eventually you will see how wonderfully it all works out. It is a truly glorious life when you are willing to give yourself completely to it.
为什么不去精通我所做的每一件事呢?要想擅长于任何事情,我必须得不断练习它,直到我掌握了它。为什么我想像自己在这灵性生活中有完美的结果,如果我仅仅只是浅尝而已?停止做一个浅尝者,而是全心地投入其中。这个生活召唤一切我所拥有的,才能让它运作起来,因此为何不给出我的所有,看看会发生些什么呢?
不论是生活中任何事物,没有什么会活出来并成为我的一部分,直到我去践行它,并目睹它的运作。从现在开始,进入这生活的艺术,活出灵性生活吧。不断地试验它,并不要因为没有得到立即的结果而敷衍了事。仅仅只是继续实践那些法则,最终我会看到它们是多么美妙地运作起来。这是一个真正荣耀的生活,当我愿意全然投入其中。
