As an aspirant, you should always seek the truthful and joyful, and avoid all thoughts that are sad and depressing. When your devotion is well-established, even if depression, doubt or conceit appears, you can easily discard them. It is best that as an aspirant, you are joyful, smiling and enthusiastic under all circumstances. This pure attitude is more desirable than even devotion and wisdom. If you are worried, depressed or doubting, you can never attain Bliss, no matter what spiritual practice you perform. Hence, the first task of an aspirant is the cultivation of enthusiasm. Never get inflated when you are praised, never get deflated when you are blamed. You must analyze yourself and correct your faults. Be a Spiritual Lion.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
