Do not think of the past, nor plan for the future. Live in the present. Believe in the glory of
the Self. Regard all alike. Help the Self in all.
Tear into pieces the veil of ignorance. Catch the fickle deer mind with the snare of enquiry
and Brahma Chintana. Ride the elephant of Self-knowledge and reach the highest peak of Supreme
Wisdom of the Self.
Melt all illusory differences. Remove all barriers that separate man from man. Mix with all.
Destroy the sex-idea by constantly thinking on the Self or the sexless and bodiless Atman.
From "Light, Power and Wisdom" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda

After having been practicing meditation for a year, I now realize that both are illusions. But nevertheless, these thoughts seem so real when my mind is engaged in them. I aim to let go of them, but as soon I let one train of thought, another comes into my mind, engaging it again.
It's a never ending task, sometimes it seems hopless if not for some brief moments of calm. Too brief.
