Give up reliance on the vagaries of the mind
Mere moral practices or instruction cannot help you to achieve this. It can be done, only, by spiritual . For, it is a basic transformation. It involves the elimination of the Mind, which is the arch-obstacle in the path. Grace of God, if invoked and won, can endow you with power. And, the Grace is available within you, awaiting the call. Man must give up reliance on the vagaries of the mind. He must act ever in the consciousness of his innate Divinity. When that is done, his three-fold nature (composed of the - thamasik, rajasik and sathwik) will automatically express itself through only holy channels. That is the genuine Manifestation. Another point. The argument may be raised: If one has to give up the desire for comfort, luxury and pleasure, why should one be embroiled in society? This presupposes the belief that Society is justified only by the provision of such worldly joys. But, what kind of society can one build on such slender foundation? If built, it can be a society only in name, it will not be bound by mutual love and cooperation The strong will suppress the weak. Social relations will be marred by discontent. Even when attempts are made to divide the resources of Nature equally among all, the cordiality will be only on the surface. It will not be spontaneous. We can limit the resources available, but, we cannot limit greed, desire and craving. Desire involves seeking beyond the limits of possibility. What has to be done is, to pluck out desire by the roots; man must give up the desire for objective pleasure, based on the illusion that the World is many, manifold, multicoloured etc., and not on the Truth that the world, nature, all creation, is ONE. When one Is conscious only of the ONE, who desires which? What can be acquired and enjoyed by the second person? The Athmic Vision destroys the desire for objective joys, for, there is no object distinct from the subject.
