Summer Showers in Brindavan 2002; Chapter 11: Always Be Happy Peace Can Be Attained Only by God’s Grace Master the Mind, and Be a Mastermind. Man can control the mind and attain peace by constant and sustained practice. It is only in a peaceful mind that noble thoughts arise. Unfortunately, instead of controlling the mind, man has become the slave of his senses. That is the main cause of his unsteadiness. Moreover, he has body attachment. This is the reason he gets easily disturbed if people find fault with him. You should get rid of body attachment. Sense Control Is the Highest Sadhana. The mind should be under the control of man. Master the mind, and be a mastermind. Summer Showers in Brindavan 2002; Chapter 11:
