A question which comes to our
mind is whether will power can be increased. The answer is, yes. Our past
failures should not dishearten us. Let me recount an incident which happened in
the life of Saint Augustine, a famous Christian saint who wrote a very valuable
book called Confessions of Saint Augustine. Ile suffered from a great conflict.
He would make pious resolutions but failed to carry them out due to a weak will
power. Everyday he made an attempt and every day he failed. He thought that his
was a hopeless case. He would say that for one more day he would lead an
immoral life, enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, have a moral holiday and he
would reform the next day. In this way he continued to postpone his resolution
to be good and the prickings of his conscience made him suffer terrible
conflict.
One day he prayed to Jesus and
opened a page in the Bible. The thought came to his mind that he should not
postpone his effort to the next day, that he should implement it on the same
day. God gave him tremendous strength. Ile could turn over a new leaf and
recovered his faith in himself. It was all due to the increase in his will
power. Though Saint Augustine led an immoral life he had the moral courage to
confess his sins and the ability to rise above them.
Another instance closer to us
is that of a householder disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, Girish Chandra Ghosh. If
we study his life and read about him in the Gospel we fend Sri Ratnakrishna
blessing Girish wholeheartedly. The reason for this unique blessing is that
Girish had one virtue among all his numerous vices, and that was unlimited and
unshakeable faith. After meeting and being influenced by Sri Ramakrishna he
constantly told people about the tremendous trans-formation that had taken
place in him. He committed various sins but never gave up hope. This made it
possible for him to be transformed from an abject sinner to a great saint.
These examples illustrate that we should not be
discouraged by past failures. Instead of feeling disheartened we should
increase will power so that our past failures need not be our future failures
too. What we need to realise is that there should be a determined effort on our
part. Like Saint Augustine we should resolve to do today what we would like to
postpone for tomorrow. It is never too late to become pure, good and strong.
