What is the conscious awareness that we must develop to stay on the right path? Bhagawan lovingly and clearly guides us today!

Through continuous and consistent Sadhana (spiritual discipline), man can control the vagaries of the mind, which by their variety and vanity cause disappointment and distress. What is required is the awareness of the vicious game that the mind plays. It presents before the attention, one source after another of temporary pleasure; it does not allow any interval for you to weigh pros and cons. When hunger for food is appeased, it holds before the eye, the attraction of the film, it reminds the ear of the charm of music, and it makes the tongue water for the pleasant taste of something it craves for. The wish becomes very soon an urge for action, the urge soon gathers strength and yearning becomes uncontrollable. The burden of desires gradually becomes too heavy and man gets dispirited and sad. Train the mind to turn towards intelligence for inspiration and guidance, not towards the senses for adventures and achievements. That will make it an instrument for reducing your vagaries and saving time and energy for more vital matters.
