have perfect freedom to select the name and form that give you necessary
encouragement. (...)
First, when you sit for meditation, recite a few hymn on the glory of
God, so that the thoughts that are scattered could be collected. Then
gradually, while doing meditation, draw before the mind's eye the form
which that name represents. When your mind wanders away from the
recftal of the name, take it on to the picture of the form. When it wanders
away from the picture, lead it on to the name. Let it dwell either
on that sweetness or this. Treated thus it can be easily tamed. The imaginary
picture you have drawn will get transmuted into the emotional

by forces of calumny or distrust or ignorance. My resolve must prevail;
my task must be accomplished. My mission will succeed. I have come
to illumine the human heart with the light Divine and to rid man of the
delusion that drags him away from the path of peace, the perfect equanimity
born of realization. 9.9.58, (15-97)
