Your mind flies about anywhere and
squats on all sundry objects in the Universe.
Like the fly that sits on fair and foul,
your mind too flees from one thought to another.
The fly will be destroyed if it sits on fire.
So too, your mind will be destroyed when it dwells on God.
Know that your mind is but a pattern of desires,
woven with the warp and woof of the same material.
When God enters your mind, desire flees away.
This state is called the death of the mind
or the merging of your mind.
Each one of you must make
your own heart an abode of peace.
Analyse your words, deeds and thoughts.
Get rid, slowly but surely, of the evil ones
that harm you and others.
Cultivate fortitude, firm peace and
speak only the truth. Let this transformation
begin, this very moment in you!
