It is ever to grow, to receive from the blows of fate and Man's iniquity some greater understanding, some larger strength that will fit him more surely for his heavenly home. You will not have to practice awareness. Meditation is one of the ways in which the spiritual man keeps himself awake. All good meditative prayer is a conversion of our entire self to God. The karmic law requires that every human wish find ultimate fulfillment.
Desire is thus the chain that binds man to the reincarnation wheel.
If you encounter adversity, realize that these are the knocks and bumps that encourage people to be Yogis. To know good, you should know what bad is. This is life. If you had no problems you'd need to make some, which is exactly how you got them. They are your implements of creation.
