Narration
Translated
Why should we tune in and cleanse our minds? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today what to do and what not to do in our chosen spiritual path. The Minister was telling you to attend the discourse on Gita but there is no good in that if you lean on to a pillar of the Hall and doze off. It is not the sound but it is the meaning that matters; it is not the ear but it is the heart that must drink in the Gita. He wanted you to seek and enjoy Satsangam (good company); along with that sangam (congregation), there must be self-examination also - how much you have succeeded in escaping from the senses and nearing the Lord. Mana eva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoh - the mind binds and the mind liberates. So train the mind and win. It is a wild elephant, which can be tamed with the goad of Soham. Do not feed it with conceit, hate, envy and greed. Let the name of the Lord echo ever in the ear and the mind will be tamed.
- Divine Discourse, May 22, 1965.
"
Do not pay more attention to the outside world than necessary; but, concentrate more on the inner springs of joy. - BABA
