- The thoughts and activities prompted by our senses are simply expressions of our desires.
- These desires are the result of projecting happiness onto objects and beings. This projection, known as "samkalpa," stems from a lack of knowledge about the Self, which is the source of bliss.
- When we remove samkalpa, with the help of Self-knowledge, our desires diminish, leading to fewer thoughts and less activity driven by our senses.
- By remaining peaceful and using our intellect, we can gradually detach our minds from the external world.
- In meditation, we can focus our minds on the Self, striving for a state of steadiness and tranquility.
