Let your heart be not hardened by hatred
More than all else, the Guru must be equipped with (tolerance) and a calm and quiet temper. He should be prepared to meet, without being ruffled, the buffetings of the environment. When some one inquires whether you have a calm temper, do not get enraged. Some people get angrier and angrier when they are asked this. Even when you have to speak harshly to a child or parent because all other means of bringing a point home have failed, let your heart be soft, let it not be hardened by prejudice or hatred. You must equip yourself for this task of- (service) by some individual done daily with sincerity and regularity. The (primeval sound ) recital is one form of such spiritual effort. It is laid down at that the early dawn recital of should be done twenty one times. This number is not arbitrarily fixed; it has a significance of its own. We have the five (senses of action) and the five (senses of perception); we have also (the five vital energies or airs) to sustain us. Then we have the five (sheaths), enclosing the Divine Spark that is the Reality. These total up to twenty. Hence the recitation of twenty one times purifies and clarifies all these twenty components and makes man the twenty-first entity, ready for the final merger with Reality. The (life-principle) merges with (the Supreme Reality). may be pictured as a rider on the twenty-headed horse. Finally, you end the recital with the recital of '' three times. That completes the process of clarification and purification. The first call for (peace chant) is for the purity of the adhibhouthik (body) part of the Self. The second call is for the purity of the adhidhaivik (the mind). The third is for the purification of the adhyathmik (the spirit). This recital will tone you up, calm all agitations in the mind and quicken the downpour of Grace.
