Your
nature is Divine; God is the very substance of which you are merely
another name and form. To realize this you must develop the
discrimination between the eternal and the ever changing. You must know
that the Universe is constantly subject to change and modification, and
that Lord alone is unchanging. Practice detachment from pleasures of
this world and that of the other, being convinced that they are fraught
with grief. Control the senses and the sensory promptings; exhibit
fortitude in the midst of grief and pain, joy and victory. Have firm
faith in the Teacher and the Sacred Texts, and on the steady
contemplation on the Absolute, undisturbed by other waves of thought.
You will then gain realization of your True Nature.
Force
your mind to breathe the grander atmosphere of the Eternal. Do this by
reminding it of God and His Glory every second, with every breath, by
repeating any of His Names. Or engage in some work, which will take you
out of your narrow self into His vast magnificence; some task where
you dedicate the fruit to God, or where you devote your time and energy
to share your skill, joy or knowledge with your fellow beings. Or keep
yourself surrounded always by persons devoted to the higher life;
persons who will encourage you to move forward along the road towards
the goal. Through these means, you can achieve Chittha Shuddhi (cleansing of your mind).
