You can overcome the troubles and tribulations that come in the wake of an attempt to destroy the undesirable activities of the mind by adopting a strict course of discipline. The spiritual aspirant just has to put this disciplined approach into practice. Even the most powerful drug cannot affect a cure when it is just brought to the bedside of the patient. The patient has to take it in, little by little, as per prescription, with all attendant care, and try to assimilate it into his/her system. The healing effects of the drug must pervade the entire body; the body must be suffused with the drug. If you desire success from your spiritual practices, you must give up all false and low feelings and act according to the highest teachings. If you do this sincerely, you will certainly attain results. The secret of achievement is proportionate to the importance you, the spiritual aspirant, give to right conduct (Sanmarga).
