One has to be careful not to allow any impurities to join the pure and unsullied truth of one’s heart. It is because of the weakness of our senses that various impurities enter our heart and pollute it. These impurities are the six inner enemies of man. The purity of nectar can be destroyed even by an atom of impurity. Once a music director composed a song;

‘I am aware, You are like the moon

In the distant sky;

Yet my mind tries to grab You;

I don’t know why.’ (Telugu Song)

In fact, where is the moon? Not in the distant sky. Our mind itself is the moon. We are unable to gain control over mind because of these six inner enemies coming in our way. Is it not a fact that even the bright light of the moon on a full moon night is not visible if the clouds come in its way? The moment the clouds move away, the moon is visible. Similarly, you have to do constant Namasmarana in order to drive away the clouds of these six inner enemies. (SSS Vol.39, pp. 77-78)
