Thanks, Steve.

The quote you named also ends with:

"Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”

These are my favorite words of wisdom from Sri Yukteswar

Yes it helps to keep great spiritual giants in our consciousness. The world constantly vies for our attention. Part of spiritual effort is to mindful of the great wisdom of such beings. It is often difficult to assess spiritual progress since as humans we are up and down in our interests and emotions. I have found that a great deal of spiritual progress is a result of being mindful of the spiritual presence and influence we find ourselves surrounded by. Quite often we miss the blessings around us from just not being sensitive to them and not making the effort to be thankful and mindful of the seemingly small events that happen around us every day.
