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

I too am fond of this line and am finding blessings from it

From chapter 12,
Years in My Master's Hermitage

"The darkness of maya is silently approaching. Let us hie homeward within." With these cautionary words Master constantly reminded his disciples of their need for Kriya Yoga. A new student occasionally expressed doubts regarding his own worthiness to engage in yoga practice.
"Forget the past," Sri Yukteswar would console him. "The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now."
