Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

What is illusion? M.: To whom is the illusion? Find it out. Then illusion will vanish. Generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. It is foolish.

Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. It is not synonymous with certain success.
