Best way is to associate with people who have that faith and to perform those activities and cultivate those thoughts that increase our faith and to avoid those vibrations that distract our mind from that goal. We are living in a society that has so many distractions. But those distractions can acually help us IF we are spiritually strong. When you resist a distraction you become stronger spritually, when you give in you become weaker.
So Bombay is a wonderful place to become strong. That means if we have nice association and in the free time where we have a choice of what to do , if we cultivate spiritual strength then that will empower us when we go out into the world to keep our mind fixed on what is virtuous on what is truth and what will help me to awaken love of God and every test we pass we are being filled with grace and are becoming strong. So tests are good.
How many of you enjoy your exams in school? Please raise your hand. How many do not necessarily enjoy your exam in school? How many of you dont enjoy it and still take your exams in school? Those exams are necessary because when you know that exams are coming you have to prepare yourself. So in this world you know the exams are coming everyday and knowing that actually helps us to take more seriously preparing ourselves through our spiritual practices, through our association and through our goodness, by accessing God's grace.
