By Sant Kirpal Singh, from "The Teachings of Kirpal Singh", Vol. II, page 21 - 22 Mind is a slave to habit, and is forcibly led astray by it. Find for yourself what habits are obstacles in the way of truth. Get rid of them by and by and fill their place by good ones. For instance, anger should give way to calmness and avarice to contentment, and so on. By continued application, mind will give up bad habits. But note that mere theory of a thing does not help, unless a thing is actually done. Mind is very powerful. At the time of deliberation, it makes promises but does not care to fulfil them when the occasion arises. To control it is not the work of haste; it requires years of patient perseverance. So long as it does not take pleasure in the internal music, it must fly out to worldly pleasure. Apply your mind with love and keen interest to the spiritual exercises, without any false apprehensions. One day you will get complete control over your mind and senses and find it is a great blessing. But the time factor is a necessity. It will not happen in one day. |
