In English
It is, therefore, necessary that we must try to reduce our desires gradually, if we wish to achieve (destruction of the mind). This process starts with retaining only those desires which are useful and beneficial for our spiritual progress and discarding all other desires. These desires arise in our mind like the waves in a sea, uninterruptedly. Just as we take a bath in the sea without being swept away by these waves, similarly we must try to remove the impurities in us, without being disturbed by these desires. There are, of course, some methods by which this can be achieved. Whether it is good or bad, sorrow or joy –– for everything, the mind is responsible. One has to realise this truth.
