There is no deliverance as long as there is greed and other desires

Shun fruitless thoughts and bear with all life’s buffetings: There is no deliverance as long as there is greed and other desires. Do your duties without regard to victory or defeat, gain or loss, pleasure or pain, good or evil, right or wrong ; and devote the rest of your time to removing the error of self-will. When you have no control over your own body, how could you have control over wife and children, brothers and friends? Having thus cleared the field with discriminating thoughts, keep reciting the Holy Name by concentrating the mind not on the outward breathings but on the inner respiratory process. Avoid small talk; be calm of body and mind; and give such time as you can to the conscious recitation of the Name; if you persevere in this practice you will know in gooil time the true nature of Cosmic Energy.
