Sri Sarada DeviMy child, this mind is just like a wild elephant. It races like the wind. Therefore one should discriminate all the time. One should work hard for the realization of God. What a wonderful mind I had at that time! Somebody used to play on a flute at night at Dakshineswar. As I listened to the sound, my mind would be extremely eager for the realization of God. I thought that the sound was coming directly from God, and I would enter into Samadhi.

The mind is rendered pure as a result of much austerities. God who is purity itself cannot be attained without austerities.

The mind will be steadied if one repeats the name of God fifteen or twenty thousand times a day. It is truly so…. I myself have experienced it. Let them practise it first; if they fail, let them complain.
*********************************************
Repeating the name of God once, when the mind is controlled, is equivalent to a million repetitions when the mind strays from God. You may repeat the name of God for the whole day, but if the mind be elsewhere, that does not produce much result. The repetition of the name must accompany concentration.
