ANXIETY ACCOMPANIES DESIRE.
AS LONG AS THE MIND IS FULL OF DESIRE, ANXIETY WILL BE THERE.
WHEN DESIRE CEASES, ANXIETY IS NO MORE.
HOWEVER, ONCE THE SENSE OF "MINE" IS CONCEIVED, DESIRE ARISES AND ONE IMMEDIATELY BECOMES PRE-OCCUPIED WITH OBJECTS.
TO FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS "MINE" IS ITSELF BONDAGE.
THE MIND WHEN DWELLING ON THE SELF, IS DESIRELESS, AND WHEN FOCUSING ON THE PHYSICAL BODY AS "ME" OR "MINE," IS FULL OF DESIRE.
THE "ONE BEING" THAT PLAYS IN ALL BODIES IS THE ALL-PERVADING "UNIVERSAL SELF."
UNDERSTAND THAT "ALL IS BRAHMAN."
CONSIDER ALL TO BE YOUR FRIENDS SO, THAT THERE IS NO DUALITY OR DISLIKE IN THE MIND.
CONSIDER THE ONE WHO CRITICIZES YOU, OR BLAMES YOU, AS A KIND PERSON.
KEEP AN OPEN LOVING ATTITUDE TOWARDS THOSE WHO GIVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE, AND REMAIN WITHOUT ENMITY.
ONLY THEN, WILL YOU BE AS BRAHMAN.
ANXIETY KILLS US VERY EARLY.
THE ONE WHO WORRIES DIES WITH THAT WORRY, AND HATRED IS A VERY HEAVY BURDEN TO BEAR.
WHEN PRIDE DISAPPEARS, THE THORN THAT IRRITATES YOU DROPS AWAY.
KILL PRIDE AND THEN YOU WILL YOURSELF BECOME THE "DIVINE SAGE," OR "BRAHMARISHI."
PROSTRATE BEFORE THE ONE WHO HATES YOU.
IF YOU DECIDE THAT SOMEONE IS BAD, THEN YOU YOURSELF BECOME BAD.
ONE WHO HAS NO ENMITY IS HIMSELF BRAHMAN.
