Drop the delusion that you have become old or diseased, or that you have become ‘weak and debilitated. Some people begin to count the years and grieve over advancing age and shudder like cowards afraid of Death. But remember, elation is Heaven, despondency is hell. Have always some work to do and do it well that you get joy. Vyamoha is the dust that settles upon the glass of chimney of the lantern and dims the light. The attachment to sensual objects and to the pleasure they give is the soot that sticks to the inside of the chimney; that too dims the light. Clean the chimney by Namasmarana every day and the flame will shine for you andothers. Also, have good activities and good companionship. That will help very much in spiritual Sadhana; proper atmosphere is very essential for the aspirant.(SSS Vol.1, pp. 75-76)
