Thought for the Week

It is the nature of the mind unless it be purged of its bad habits by constant prayer and meditation, to drag the man down to lower pleasures. You and everybody shall have to infuse in its good ideas and good habits by present acts. Then it will not trouble you. This is the reason when a man wants to be spiritual, he has to remain always on the guard so that the mind goes not back again to its unnatural habits. During this period constant struggle takes place. You are passing through that. If you have faith in yourself and in the grace of Sri Ramakrishna you are sure to come out victorious. He helps him who struggles – that is His nature. Know it always that His helping hand is always guiding you. Otherwise, you would have been vanquished long ago and would have become an ordinary man. Through His blessings, the character of the mind will change and it will be a helping maid by your side. But you shall have to keep a constant watch on the mind till He comes and resides permanently within it. You shall feel it yourself.
