Answer 1

what works for you may not necessarily work for me and what works for me may not work for you. therefore we each have our own belief systems and ways of working things out in our own ways. there is none better than another as we need to pick out what works best for us.

Answer 2

"Having thought what ought to be thought,
hold on to it till you have succeeded."

This is the basis of the Hindu idea that we create our own reality. "Thought" has power because thought has energy.

"The Lord with mellowed heart must yield to your wishes.
Persevere, be tenacious, and never give up,"

The only difference now is the addition of the Lord. This takes responsibility for the action away from the individual and plants it squarely on the "other." This is a step away, in my humble opinion and could well be counterproductive.

"for it is the quality of a devotee never to retreat or relent in resolve."

Again. This looks to the "other." Therefore, if the devotee, in his/her pursuit of a successful result to an action ends up doing something heinous, personal responsibility is removed.

Let's get back to the source. We are all energy. We create our own reality. Responsibility for our actions is solely ours.
