This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.

Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him.

Let us realise [that] we are the infinite power. Who put a limit to the power of mind? Let us realise we are all mind. Every drop has the whole of the ocean in it. That is the mind of man. The Indian mind reflects upon these [powers and potentialities] and wants to bring [them] all out. For himself he doesn't care what happens. It will take a great length of time [to reach perfection]. If it takes fifty thousand years, what of that!

We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
