"The mind sees through the eyes, hears through the ears, smells through the nose, tastes through the tongue and feels the touch through the body. When the mind is restless, these senses make it perceive diversity which brings pain and sorrow. When the mind is peaceful, these senses make it perceive oneness which brings joy and bliss. A restless mind is Maya. A peaceful mind is Ram. When the mind is filled with the one thought of peace or Ram, eyes see nothing but Ram, ears hear nothing but Ram, nose smells nothing but Ram, tongue tastes nothing but Ram, every touch of the body is nothing but Ram. Every thing, every being, affects the mind through the senses as Ram who is eternal peace and bliss."
