Sri Sarada DeviEverything depends on the mind. Nothing can be achieved without purity of the mind. It is said, “The aspirant may have received the grace of the Guru, the Lord and the Vaishnavas; but he comes to grief without the grace of ‘one’.” That one is the mind. The mind of the aspirant should be gracious to him.

What else does one obtain by the realization of God? Does he grow two horns? No, his mind becomes pure, and through a pure continuous meditation will make the mind so steady that you will not want to give it up. When the mind is not in a mood to meditate, do not force it to do so. In such conditions get up from the seat of meditation after making prostrations. Real meditation is of a spontaneous nature.

Q: Mother, my mind becomes restless now and then. It craves for enjoyment and that frightens me.
A: Don’t be afraid. I tell you that in this Kali Yuga mental sin is no sin. Free your mind from all worries on this account. You need not be afraid.
