SPIRITUAL LIGHT. Notes:-It is well said in the Parmatma-Prakash that one should conquer the mind, the powerful king of the five senses. The conquest over the invincible and the uncontrollable mind, will lead to victory over all the five senses as by cutting off the root of a tree, the whole tree becomes dried up, External elations and vexations arise from the unbalanced state of mind. They do not spring from the objects but they rise from human notions. It is said “ It is the mind that maketh good or ill; so if you properly control your mind by purging it off from all inordinate desires and sensual pleasures and enjoyments, you will be able to live a life worthy of the unsullied nature of your Soul. It is very easyto say but it is very difficult to practise. So, one should at once, try to spiritualize his mind by free ing it from the thraldom of body, senses and outward things. Thus, by constant practice of the life of purity, mo leron and sobriety, conceptions of what is spiritual and immortal will readily present themselves before him. કિની અંદર ધૈર્ય વગેરે ગુણે વસે છે–
