There is a purpose for each one of us to be born. Is it important to know, what is it? Some will never come to know, and they would leave this world without knowing. In some, this question will arise, but no pursuit will be made further to it. It is the Destiny, which offers it to some, to pursue further and only then this purpose is revealed. This is the knowledge from the Divine.
To raise the Divinity within you, everyone has to work for this. You may start this work in this life, or in later life or you have already started in one of your previous lives and it is in the process. But sooner or later, you will work on this. This is the Law of the Divine, no one comes into life, without purpose.
It is the ground, which is the basic thing, to be of useful for growth of anything in it. Likewise, our heart, our thoughts, our acts are to be pure or to near pure, as transparent as still, clean water bed. The vices, which makes it muddy, mushy or dirty are to be removed, which are Lust, Anger, Greed, Addiction and lack of true knowledge. In Sikhism, these are described as Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Andhkaar. Only then, you can be connected to the Divine.
Bring Love and Kindness in your heart. Be Generous, in all of your affairs and acts.
Be Moderate in everything. Be Non-Excessive. This is not indulgence only in eating, it is in your attitude also, towards yourself and others as well.
Apply Non-Injury. Now this is interesting. Injury is not only physical, which is the extreme expression of Anger. What you say to anyone, that is equally important, it does not injure anyone. Even the onset of thought of hurting anyone is also a blockage in your path of progress.
Apply Non-Stealing. Non stealing is not of physical things only. It is your thought, effort or planning, to grab the position or status of others, by pushing the others down. Anything, which is not yours or you are not capable of having it, a mere thought is stealing.
Constancy of Aim and effort. Do not leave anything, in between, once you start something. It is better, to wait in deciding and then taking a venture or work in hand.
Non-Laziness. This is really hard, if you are still and are in inertia. An extra effort indeed, is needed to bring the flywheel into motion. Make a habit to apply jerk and get up. The sense of having a duty to perform is the jerk. Once you do this, it becomes a habit. You must understand, everyone is bound to his duty or Karmas in life and do Karma, you must.
Accurate Perception. This will come automatically, when you apply these virtues, as a nature. Your entire attitude in analysis will change. An inner satisfaction will arise.
You will learn at some time of your journey the Correct Expression, which is the Divine gift to you, in this path.
