Note – we must understand that our senses and mind can be our enemies as well as our friends.

When we meditate, the ‘outward going’ senses and mind turn inwards to the Lord within. Then only they become our friends.

Whatever be the environment we are in, we can live peacefully, only with a ‘friendly’ mind. Abandoning  a place or environment can not help you unless you have the right mental attitude.

So, we have to engage our senses positively. Eating ‘good’, speaking ‘good’, listening ‘good’ are all needed for a good mind.

The advice from Lord Brahma is meant for all of us. Spirituality is not escaping from the responsibilities of the world, but transcending this tangible world itself and merging with the intangible, infinite Supreme.

Will Priyavratha listen to Brahma’s advice? Let us see in the next Slokas.
