Life is a death-long discipline. Constant and alert vigilance over our own thoughts and actions is the stiff price we are compelled to pay for the greater achievements and finer accomplishments in life.
Introspection adds polish and verve to our attentive personality to smartly detect the rise of false thoughts, dangerous moods, careless words and inglorious actions. Our alertness gives us the poise to discern whenever we go wrong and the calm courage to correct.
Once we have caught the melody of life and its unerring rhythm, the personality in us becomes fully tuned and ready to initiate great activities.
Without such adjustments, and without deliberately cultivating this inner deftness through conscious discipline, any servant of society will bring but more confusion, invite more sinners and attract more distress into his fields of endeavour.
