Humans have the chance to get liberation
The final spiritual result is determined in the last moments of life, where one can undo a lifetime of good. Persist in spiritual practice regardless of difficulty, for the seeds of devotion never perish. Many struggle but keep faith. Time is fleeting; do not assume a long life remains. Spiritual energy must be awakened with awareness and directed rightly, lest it cause destruction. Purify the inner faculties: mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego. See the world as one family under the creator, Śiva Tattva. The cosmic principles of creation, sustenance, and dissolution operate through divine play. Human birth offers liberation, but acting against creation degrades one back into animal realms. Preserve the pure qualities within your lineage; mixing them leads to decline in this age. Practice yoga postures named for animals to overcome latent tendencies and cultivate human virtues like mercy and non-stealing. This practice leads to realizing the universal Śiva consciousness. Connect to the holy source through practice, scripture, and the elements. Persist without hurry.
