One should not tolerate apathy to subdual - this is the secret of the development of one's will-power. Deliberate meditation, i.e.-canalization of thought-processes, on subjects in which men are not normally interested is helpful in the development of will-power. Sense-organs are a slave to sensuality, rather than indifferent to it. Therefore, sometimes a sădhaka gets attracted to what 'the flesh is heir to! Hence he becomes apathetic to the practice of selfdiscipline. His determination begins to slacken. A sadhakawho cannot tolerate laxity, canalizes his thought process in the direction of self-control. Thus, developing his will-power, he gains mastery over self-discipline. The path prescribed by Bhagavān Mahavira, for the achievement of selfrealization comprises the practice of constant vigilance and perseverance. In case a sådhaka is infatuated even momentarily by sensual delights, meditation once does away with his stupor. (consequently, he escapes from the indelible impress of the pent up sensual impulses. If wantonness is not purged away, the mind begins to contract passion. One cannot, then, get rid of carnality. Therefore, the author has exhorted the aspirant to be very careful in this regard. 20.
