Overcome regrets through work. Work for God and offer the fruits unto Him. No blame shall attach nor praise for it, just selfless service unto all. Prolonged practice shall equip the mind to maintain equipoise. Thus, shall suffering cease to hold, thus shall freedom be.

PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY ... 2
If we chant our Ishtamantra diligently daily, read 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' daily as well and keep visiting the nearest monastery or mission centre of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, we will gradually feel that the delusive hold of Mahamaya is, by Her grace, slackening and our love spreading from our immediate familial confines to include progressively an expanding circle of personalities. This is easier said than done but attainable over a protracted period of unspecified time for sure and must be attempted for there is no alternative to it in the long run of human evolution through life after life on this planet of experiential sorrow and wisdom thereof.
A word more, though, and that is, we must pray frequently to Mother in all humility, love and resignation despite our severest exertions in spiritual practice and fervently exhort Her to release us unto freedom. Mother pleased, the obstacles insurmountable become like molehills that may be crossed at ease and we will so gain a sage passage through the web of Maya. May Mother bless us all!

P.S. : Remember, grace delivers after diligence has necessarily failed, for the infinite cannot be realised by finite means nor the veil of Maya lifted by human effort.
