100. The very essence of the discipline of the seeker is to fight

those aspects of the lower mind which create selfishness and egoism.

101. When the lower nature is overcome, the soul rediscovers its

past glory of true inborn knowledge in a disembodied state.

102. There is a vast magazine of knowledge and power within you. You

ahve only to discover and realise it (through deep meditation).

103. Eradicate the seen and the visual with their Vasanas and

contemplate upon the Atman, the Ultimate Reality which is the

Primeval Light.

104. The senses can be controlled by dispassion or non-attachment,

Pratyahara (abstraction or withdrawal of the senses), Dama or self-

restraint, control of the mind and Brahma-vichara.

105. The serpents of senses whicha re hissing againa nd again should

be slain by the rod of firm discrimination.

106. For a seeker of eternal peace, the mastery over the senses is

indispensable.

107. Ceaselessly strive to strengthen your spiritual Samskaras or

spiritual force through aspiration, dispassion, discrimination,

Satsanga or association with saints and meditation, and weaken the

resistance of instincts and senses.

108. You can attain Self-realisation through hard self-discipline,

by truth, by thoroughness of knowledge, and by chastity.

109. The best means of developing Viveka, Vichara and Vairagya is

constant remembrance of God.

110. Not a moment should pass without constant remembrance of God.
