Though the cow grazes on the pastures having been separated from the calf, her mind is
always fixed on the calf only. Similarly you should fix the mind on God when you do Japa, and give
your hand to work.
Renounce all attachment. Be balanced in success or failure, gain or loss, victory or defeat,
pleasure or pain. Discipline your mind cautiously. This is your master-key to open the doors of the
realm of Bliss. This is the secret of success in Yoga.
Feel and think that you breathe, live and work for God alone, in every second of your life,
and that without Him life is absolutely useless. Feel the pangs of separation while at work if you
forget Him even for a fraction of a second.
