Many ideas take shape in the human heart. They wander to the very ends of the eight directions. Some, within these many ideas, are mutually supportive; others are mutually destructive. But you must not leave them free. You must have the cleverness to canalize them, and discipline the senses to sub-serve one high purpose. It is not enough if you have cleverness. You must also engage in the control and subjugation of the mental faculties. This is very essential for the blossoming of the Divine Soul within you. In addition, you must also move with elders who are experienced in the sublimation of the vagaries of the mind.
-Divine Discourse, Sep 2, 2009.
