This morning someone from placed before Me this same problem. I told him that there is one simple solution but he responded with a sigh. He said, "I have approached many sages and everyone of them has a 'simple solution.' It may be simple, for me they are impossibly difficult". I told him, "You are already engaged in performing even more difficult exercises than the one I propose to recommend. So, it will not be hard at all. Do not lose heart. You have inherent in you, vast potentiality, you can draw upon that reserve strength and succeed." Then, I gave him the example of a bumble bee. It is a small thing, judging from size but it bores through the toughest timber! There is a legend that it bored through the steely muscle of 's thigh! This same bumble bee settles at sunset on a lotus flower and drinks the intoxicating nectar. It falls into a stupor, overwhelmed by the elixir. While it is still on the task, the Sun sets and the petals close in, to make the bloom a bud, again! The bee is imprisoned in the softness; it has no strength to bore through the tender velvety veil! I told him, "Let your mind imbibe the nectar of the Name, let it taste the elixir of the Lotus Feet of the Lord, it will be incapacitated, rendered ineffective, incapable of harm."
