What determines whether an individual succeeds in life on earth or not, or is able to leave behind day-to-day accomplishments in reaching his goal? After establishing a firm goal, it is very important to know how to have a direction that is in accord with and hits the marks of the goal.

Even though you start with a goal, if the direction goes wrong it will have nothing to do with the goal. Therefore, when we step forward with a goal, we must always watch carefully to see whether the direction is in accordance with it.

We must stand directly facing the goal. Since we are in a reciprocal relationship with the goal, we should stand in the position of having the goal opposite to us on a straight line. When we move forward step by step, if we do not adopt the position in line with the goal, we are bound to miss the goal. Just one wrong step will lead you to miss the goal. You can lean neither right nor left.

\Find the right mean, and you will be able to reach the conclusion of your goal. You must work from the point of finding yourself able to unite with the goal in the straight line with clearly defined goodness. If we regret the straight line and come to stand on the foundation of not being able to be in accord with the straight line, we have to know that we have already strayed from the way that enables us to accomplish the goal.

\If we cannot stand in the position where the goal and our direction are in accord, God cannot help or share it with us, because God's place has a common direction from a common position towards a common goal. If we deviate, God cannot be with us.

Why is it so? Because if the direction goes wrong, all effort will be lost. In many situations, cooperation will not bring the desired results but rather will inevitably lead elsewhere. It is very natural that God cannot help or be with you if you come to stand in that position, so it will be wasted effort.

Once we have risen in the morning, all our feelings and movements must be unified into one all the time, in a straight line united on one goal. We can't deny that the moment we lose the proper point, we are not able to be connected with the Will. (57-232)
