Sri Sarada DeviEven if the mind be not concentrated, do not give up the repetition of the holy word. Do your duty. While repeating the name the mind will be steady like a candle flame in a place protected from the wind. It is the wind alone that makes the flame flicker. In the same way, our fancies and desires make our mind restless.
*************************************************
As the wind removes the cloud, so the name of the Lord destroys the cloud of worldliness that overcasts the mind.
*************************************************
The mind gets purified after hard Tapasya (austerity). Without regular practice nothing can be attained. Both purity and impurity are in the mind. When a man sees defects in others, his mind first gets polluted. What does he gain by finding faults in others? He hurts himself by that. From my childhood I could not find faults in others. That one thing I have never learnt in life.
**************************************************
Do the Master’s work and along with that practise spiritual discipline. Some amount of work keeps the mind free from idle thoughts. If one sits alone without any work, various thoughts may come into the mind.
