BE OF STRONG NERVES

An aspirant should be sensitive and yet have the body and nerves completely under control. The greater the sensitiveness, tile more difficult is the task. There are many sounds that pass unheeded by ail ordinary person but which are torture to one who is very sensitive.
Neophytes on the spiritual path often mistake their own impulses and imagination for the inner voice or divine command or intuition. Only when the mind is Sattwic will you get flashes or glimpses of intuition.
