- We don't just want relief from sorrow, but the complete absence of it.
- Temporary relief can be achieved by getting what we desire, but true relief can only be found in a desireless state of mind, known as Prasada, where there is no agitation.
- We experience a state of peace in everyday life when our thoughts are absent, such as during sleep.
- When we are blindfolded and taken to a place and brought back home in the same way, we can't return to that place by ourselves. During sleep, our intellect is also absent, and we are unable to recognize the means to reach a peaceful, thoughtless, meditative state of mind.
- Spiritual sadhana is the practice of keeping the intellect steady and alert while reducing the mind to zero. Studying helps to keep the intellect steady, while devotion to God inspires us to practice regularly.
