It is better to be Mr. Late than late Mr.
In India on the roadside you find traffic warnings. “It is better to be late than never.” “It is better to be Mr. Late than Late Mr.” “Start early, drive slowly and reach safely.” All these are meant to alert the driver but they have beautiful spiritual meaning.
1. Better late than never. Don’t think it is too late to begin spiritual life. Wherever you are there you begin but make a beginning. When you come home late don’t think it is too late I will not meditate. However late it is better to meditate than not meditate. Even if you miss one day, it’s gone.
2. Start early. Begin spiritual disciplines early. When one does that life becomes easier and more enjoyable. Drive slowly. Begin early and proceed slowly but steadily and you are sure to reach the goal. When a plant is small you can bend it in any way you want. When it grows older it will be difficult to bend. Before it is burnt you can change the shape of a pot but once burnt it becomes hard. Start early and reach the goal safely.
