What does an aspirant with burning desire for Self-realization do? He takes a little milk and repeats the process of meditation the whole day and night, and eventually enjoys the bliss of the immortal Self.
Both the worldly man and the aspirant are busy in their own ways. The former is caught in the wheel of births and deaths while the latter attains immortality and peace.
The mind can be controlled only by continuous practice. You must always keep it occupied in divine contemplation. If you slacken in your efforts, idle thoughts will at once enter.
