It is purification and change of heart alone that render concentration and meditation possible. In order to grow in Sattwa you must entirely destroy the diabolic side of your nature. Never imagine for a moment that you are anywhere near the goal unless and until you strive with earnestness and diligence to rid yourself of evil tendencies and get established in a pure ethical character.
