In this Satsang, Swamiji emphasizes that seekers must enrich, and nourish the mind and intelligence. The body is inert and does not have the potential to generate any experience or knowledge. The mind alone is the cause of all experiences. We spend a lot of time in taking care of the body, but neglect to enrich and refine the mind and intelligence.

In the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna says that one must elevate oneself, by virtue of one’s own inlying strength and will. The inner resources—the mind and intelligence—have great strength, power, and potential. One must not enervate oneself by ignoring the mind and intelligence. For one who has become master of himself by inner orientation, his self is a friend and a help. But for one who does not care for inner enrichment, his own mind will be his enemy.

Yoga Vasishtha, says that there is tremendous power within each human. Using that inlying supreme will (Paurusha), one must lead the mind to mind-freeness. In this world, all things are achieved only by the proper application of one’s own wish and will. In applying Paurusha (wish and will) one must do it in a proper manner, not in a destructive manner.

The desultory mind must be understood, moderated, and sublimated and led to steadfastness. Subhashitam states that lethargy, idleness is the greatest enemy of man and perseverance is the greatest friend. When qualities like perseverance, courage, intelligence adorn a personality, then God comes to one’s help.
