What is the ultimate consummation we must not forget to aspire for? How is that connected with habits we practice daily?

 The first spiritual practice (sadhana) is to search for the faults and weaknesses within yourself and to strive to correct them and become perfect.

The unceasing toil of each succeeding day has as its aim and justification this consummation: to make one’s last days sweet and pleasant. But each day also has its evening. If the day is spent in good deeds, then evening blesses us with deep, invigorating and refreshing sleep, the sleep which is akin to samadhi. One has a short span of life on Earth. Even in this short life, one can attain divine bliss, by wisely and carefully using time.

Two people, the same in appearance, ostensibly of the same mould, grow under the same conditions, but one turns out to be an angel while the other stays on with their animal nature. What’s the reason for this differential development? Habits! Behaviour formed out of habits, and the character into which that behaviour has solidified. People are creatures of character!
