In this Satsang, based on the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji emphasizes that a human being cannot blame any external agency for his inability to achieve anything. He must enrich, develop, and harness his own mind and intelligence. If one is able to harness the mind and intelligence, his Self is a friend; if one fails to nourish the inner personality, his own Self is his enemy.

When one is persevering, effortful, and striving, anything can be achieved. By human effort, the impurities in the inner personality can be removed. A seeker must resolve to remove the Ignorance, impurities of the mind, and the dullness of the intelligence, by his own self-effort.

People, normally, think that spirituality means meditation. But despite years of practicing meditation, they are unable to improve their behaviour, character, and interactions. The seeker must nourish the mind and intelligence by his Sadhana. A man whose inner personality is properly regulated and controlled and who has a peaceful and harmonious mind, he remains steady in the Supreme Self. For him, Sukha-duhkha, respect and disrespect become alike, same. There is no preference for one or resentment for the other.

Swamiji recites and explains three verses which will lead to inner enrichment and growth. These shlokas speak about the qualities which a seeker must adorn himself with, to attain the state of fearlessness. If one is able to live in the world completely free of anxiety, with a tranquil mind, inhering in the Self, for him the material wealth of the whole world is useless. When one carries the treasure of wisdom, he is inferior to none in the world. Swamiji assures all listeners that repeated recitation of these verses is sure to enrich the inner personality and lead to purity and expansion.
