SYNOPSIS
* It is difficult to collect epuipment for a battle. * One who engages himself in self-exertion will have to face
struggles. * One can avoid future actions for achieving the status of a
spectator only after discernment has begun to be operative. * Once the ideal has been clearly visualized, one gets rid of
what is undesirable. * Once the desirable thing has been achieved, the practi
tioner would like to remain self-disciplined, wakeful and calm, but the infiltration into him by alien tendencies will still continue and he will have to employ several means to get rid of this infiltration. Self-exertion is an exercise in discernment or dissociation. * Distinction between the soul and the body. * Distinction between desires and the soul. * Distinction between inertia and the soul.
Distinction between the emotions and the soul.
