Inherited evil traits rooted in the mind must be given up. Of these traits, the worst are hatred and envy. They arise from intense selfishness. They are qualities of the leopard and should not find place in a human being. Some people try to pretend that they overcame anger, hatred, jealousy and pride. These traits make their appearance from time to time. You must cast them off immediately. You must perform continuous internal yajna, as against external yajna performed annually. The internal yajna must be performed at all times, in all places and under all circumstances. The sacrificial altar for this yajna is within each one of us. Whenever an evil thought or desire occurs, scotch it out mercilessly. Only by constant vigilance and continuous endeavour can we earn Divine grace. Only when evil traits are banished will Divinity manifest itself in all its glory. This is the real purpose of yajnas - to enable you to achieve purity to realise Divinity.
