from acute pain in any part of the body, at once shampoo the affected part very very gently. Feel that
you are serving the Lord in the body of the patient. Repeat your Ishta Mantra also. If you see a man
or animal bleeding on the roadside, tear your upper cloth or shirt and use it for bandaging. Do not
fight with the poor porters at the Railway Station. Be liberal and generous. Keep always some paise
in your pocket and distribute them to the poor and decrepit.
When the heart is purified, the mind is naturally turned towards God. Eventually it is
absorbed in the Lord, through pure love, self-surrender and worship.
