To make the mind obey you is a spiritual discipline.

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.

The practice of 'asanas' and 'pranayama' wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

Live in the present, forget the past. Give up hopes of future.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

Tolerance is a sign of growth on the spiritual path
