Towards The Goal Supreme - By Swami Virajananda

Many complain only a short time after initiation," Why is it that the mind is not getting quiet, that we are not able to meditate properly? Is it easy to have a quiet mind, or the faculty of diving deep into meditation? The mind has a natural outgoing tendency under the influence of Samskaras and attachment to sense objects accumulated in previous lives.Consequently, it always seeks to possess and enjoy those objects. One has to practise Japa and meditation with patience and constancy.

One must stick to Sri Ramakrishna's hereditary peasant, who goes on tilling his soil even if his crops fail year after year.
