Your success in Sadhana depends on self-control and sense-control. Even for the successful execution of your mundane daily chores don’t you find these controls very beneficial? Most living beings developed discrimination out of necessity, for their survival. But in humans, it has become a highly developed skill. One has to use this skill to separate the chaff from the grain and decide on the constructive path of truth and righteousness. Without cleansing the mind of its evil thoughts and low desires, how can one achieve good results from meditation or worship? Food cooked in unclean vessels is not fit for consumption. Similarly, the primary need for progress in spiritual practice is a pure mind which is free from evil thoughts and feelings. Work is purified with an attitude of worship. Dedicate all your activity to God. Then, it will not be warped and worsened by the ego. Each one of you must continue to be very disciplined and that will keep you on the straight path.
