The water vapour produced by the sun becomes a cloud and hides the sun itself. Likewise, the
thoughts arising in the mind conceal the Atma (spirit). When the mind is eliminated, the Atma alone
remains.
For eliminating the mind and removing the delusions from it, desires have to be controlled... It must be realised that selfishness and selfcentredness
have to be got rid of. Selfishness is the root cause of all the afflictions plaguing man.
If the world is to be transformed, we must begin with the individual. His evil traits have to be
removed. He must fill himself with sacred thoughts.
