Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do

Nothing bad comes from following a spiritual path

So what happens if you decide to follow this spiritual path, that you decide all the ego gratification and indulging yourself in sensual satisfaction really is no good, and you give it all up to practice the things that lead to union with God, but you find out you can’t do it?  What if you either quit practicing after a while or realize that you can’t control your mind and emotions well enough to make it to the ultimate goal?  Won’t you find yourself lost to both worldly pleasures and the promise of bliss with God? What then? Do you just perish like a cloud dissolved by the wind? Will you find yourself disillusioned by the quest for God and alone without support for either way of life, riddled with doubt? Rest assured that anyone who sincerely tried to apply these principles will not suffer a negative outcome. Whether in this world or the next, anyone who tries to do good and be good will not come to an evil end.
