Bend the body,mend the senses and end the mind - this should be your endeavour

The path of devotion means always being  in union with God. It teaches us the 
need to practise steadiness of mind under all circumstances. It speaks of being 
resolute, making a firm commitment to practise the spiritual teachings in daily 
life; it also teaches the need for contentment. There is a marked difference 
between satisfaction and true joy. One is the satisfaction that you obtain from 
the world’s temporary joys, whereas true joy is something that comes from the 
depths of your heart. It is associated with truth, it is permanent, it is 
detached from all transient worldly concerns, and it represents the unity of 
the spirit... It is full and complete in itself. A true devotee should not be 
carried away and attach importance to worldly things. Use your time, therefore, 
to control the vagaries of your mind and develop mental steadiness (Bend the 
body,mend the senses and end the mind - this should be your endeavour)
