trained through many devices.
Similarly, it is to tame
our unruly mind that we have prayer,
devotional singing, and
remembrance of the Name.
In the initial stages,
the horse runs in many directions,
but the trainer does not worry.
He holds fast to the reins.
The mind, too, naturally runs
in different directions when you
begin remembrance and repetition of the Name;
you must not yield to despair, anxiety, or indecision.
Hold fast to the reins, the Divine Name!
Within a short time, your speech and thoughts
will come under your grip.
Do not allow anything to come
near you that might make you
forget the Name of the Lord.
You will realize the profit of
that name in due course....
