“Continue your spiritual practices as you are doing at the present. Don’t relax your efforts and concentration. The mind normally passes through good and bad conditions; don’t let that keep you from performing your spiritual disciplines. As you go on with your spiritual practices, the condition of the mind will improve. No need to worry. Always cultivate holy thoughts and try to have uplifting conversations. Don’t allow your mind to harbor impure thoughts. Practice humility. You should neither jump with elation nor give in to depression. In short, try to have constant recollectedness of God and spend your days in humble submission to His will.”
