Embodiments of Divine ! We must make an effort to control the mind so that it may not get disturbed on account of emotions and agitations and remains calm and steady. Whatever difficulties, losses, scandalising and hostility we may encounter in the outside world, we should not loose our mental balance. We should not be unduly disturbed and agitated. These are only reflections of the mind. We must consider ourselves as only a witness () in such situations and should not be carried away by them. The basis for all the emotions and agitations of the mind is Apeksa (expectation or desire for worldly objects). As I had already explained to you yesterday, it is only our Apeksa that pulls us down and Upeksa that elevates us to a higher state of consciousness. We must, therefore, rise to a level where we transcend these two.
