Outlook or in look? Out query or inquiry?

Turn the key to right, it is un-locked. Turn to God and righteousness, the lock opens, the chain falls away. Turn it to the left, you become bound; the bolt falls in; the chain holds fast. It is just a question of the point of view - outlook or in look? out query or inquiry?

Some persons advise you to watch each step of the mind and note down all the false steps and evil intentions it encountered. No, that is a dangerous practice. Do not pay attention to its vagaries; strive for what you need and not for what you have to avoid. Count the false steps and you will be led to commit them again. Resolve to walk right and your steps will not falter or fail. Be like the tongue in midst of the teeth, carefully, confidentially, courageously going about its task, without getting bitten.
