The mind flits rapidly from one idea to another; it plays with one object for a

moment and forsakes it the next. You may manage to keep silent, but it is next

to impossible to keep the mind quiet. The mind is woven out of the yarn of

desire. Its characteristic is to flutter and flit, hither and thither, through

the outlets of the senses into the external world of colour, sound, taste,

smell and touch. But it can be tamed and put to good use by man. If we keep it

engaged in good pursuits and good actions, particularly in the contemplation of

the Absolute, it will not go astray and land man in ruin; for God is the source

of lasting peace and wisdom.- Baba
