The control of self-will is the essence of a truly beautiful person. Easwaran points to the dangers of excessive self-will. He maintains that the number one danger is anger, in all its forms; sulking, saying unkind words, and exhibiting surly behavior. The key is the regular systematic practice of spiritual disciplines so as not to let self-will grow .
Each of you can make your life a perfect work of art. Just as others write beautiful poetry, you can make your life such a work of art that everyone who sees it will be inspired. – Eknath Easwaran
