Let not your heart give way to trials. Be ever intent on your spiritual Sadhana. Learn to
discriminate. Develop true lasting Vairagya by association with wise people.
Make the mind understand about the unreal nature of objects and the defects of a sensual
life. Talk to your mind. Coax the mind. It will hear your words. Gradually the mind-wandering will
cease. Then the mind will abide firmly in the centre of the source.
Become a Yogi. Yoga will put an end to all sorts of pain. Yoga will destroy all Kleshas
(afflictions). Wake up. Open your eyes. Practise Yoga. My Child!
