Each one of you must make your own heart a Prasanthi Nilayam. Transformation must begin from this very moment. Analyse your words, deeds and thoughts, and get rid of the evil ones that harm you and others. Cultivate fortitude (sahana), firm peace (shanti), and speaking the truth (satya). Presently your mind flutters and squats on all and sundry objects in the Universe. It refuses to stay only on one idea - God. Like the fly that sits on fair and foul, denies itself the opportunity of sitting on a hot cinder, your mind too flees from all thoughts of God. The fly will be destroyed when it sits on fire; so too your mind will be destroyed, when it dwells on God. Desire is the very same stuff of which the mind is made; when mind becomes non-existent, you become free. Desires cease, when God seizes the mind. The death of mind or mergence with the Lord is called mano-nigraha.
