Watch The Too Indignantly Righteous. Before Long

In Order To Explain Why The Ordinary Sadhus And Yogis Take To Tobacco And Gānja [an Intoxicant], I Said That These Cause Stimulation Of The Physical Brain. But These Have Reactions. And To Stimulate The Brain Thus Is Not The Proper Process.

Many Of Us, Utterly Overcome By Tamas, The Dark And Heavy Demon Of Inertia, Are Saying Nowadays That It Is Impossible, That India Is Decayed, Bloodless And Lifeless, Too Weak Ever To Recover; That Our Race Is Doomed To Extinction. It Is A Foolish And Idle Saying. No Man Or Nation Need Be Weak Unless He Chooses, No Man Or Nation Need Perish Unless He Deliberately Chooses Extinction.

The Inside Must Be Made Entirely Calm And Quiet And There Should Reign An Upward Aspiration - A State Of Awaiting.

Even If The Being Is Not Entirely Purified, Varieties Of Inspirations And Powers May Come Down From Above But This May Lead To Serious Errors. Inspirations From Above Mixing With The Impurities From Below Get All Muddled Up And The Sadhak Takes This For An Absolute Command. Many A Sadhak Has Thus Fallen Into Danger. Therefore, One Must Particularly Lay Stress On The Purification Of The Being.

Sit In Meditation ! But Do Not Think ! Look Only At Your Mind ! You Will See Thoughts Coming Into It ! Before They Can Enter, Throw These Away From Your Mind Till Your Mind Is Capable Of Entire Silence.
