Why not excel in everything you do? To be good at anything, you have to keep on practising until you have mastered it. Why do you imagine that you can have perfect results in this spiritual life if you only dabble in it? Stop being a dabbler and plunge in whole-heartedly. This life calls for everything you have to make it work, so why not give all you have and see what happens? It does not matter what it is in life, nothing will live and become part of you until you have put it into practice and have seen how it works. Start right now getting down to the art of living this spiritual life. Keep on experimenting with it, and be not put off if you do not get immediate results. Simply go on applying the principles and eventually you will see how wonderfully it all works out. It is a truly glorious life when you are willing to give yourself completely to it.

為什麼不去精通我所做的每一件事呢？要想擅長於任何事情，我必須得不斷練習它，直到我掌握了它。為什麼我想像自己在這靈性生活中有完美的結果，如果我僅僅只是淺嘗而已？停止做一個淺嘗者，而是全心地投入其中。這個生活召喚一切我所擁有的，才能讓它運作起來，因此為何不給出我的所有，看看會發生些什麼呢？不論是生活中任何事物，沒有什麼會活出來並成為我的一部分，直到我去踐行它，並目睹它的運作。

從現在開始，進入這生活的藝術，活出靈性生活吧。不斷地試驗它，並不要因為沒有得到立即的結果而敷衍了事。僅僅只是繼續實踐那些法則，最終我會看到它們是多麼美妙地運作起來。這是一個真正榮耀的生活，當我願意全然投入其中。
