The mind must become the servant of the intellect, not the slave of the senses. It must discriminate and detach itself from the body. It must be unattached to this casement called body, like the ripe tamarind fruit, which becomes loose inside the shell. Strike a green tamarind fruit with a stone and you cause harm to the pulp inside. But, strike the ripe fruit and see what happens. It is the dry rind that falls off, nothing affects the pulp or the seed. Likewise, the ripe aspirant (saadhaka) does not feel the blows of fate or fortune. It is the unripe one who is wounded by every blow.

God is Love.  God is Truth.  Develop Love and Truth in Yourself. - Baba
