Further Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

37:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual cultivation is
the relinquishing of bad habits
and the perpetuating of pure habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

38\uff1a<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Have courage to stand up
for what is right
and to stand up
against what is not right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Sound courage arises
from appropriate confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Never follow the big mundane crowd.
Look for the spiritual crowd,
even if it is not as big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

41:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

All major addictions arise
from minor indulgences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

42:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What not worth being addicted to
is not worth indulging in even once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

43:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ill habits damage
our physical and spiritual health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

44:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to end bad habits
is to substitute them with good habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

45:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We are not totally free now
but we are free enough
to choose to be better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you do not control your habits,
your habits will control you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

47:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You are free to abstain,
unless you abstain
from being free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
