In the vessel of your heart, there is the wick of your jiva. That wick has been immersed all these days in the water of your sensuous desires. Therefore you are not able to light the lamp of wisdom. Pour out all the water of desires from the vessel of your heart, and fill it with Namasmarana of God. Take the wick of jiva and dry it in the sunshine of vairagya: squeeze out of it all the water present in the form of desire and put into the heart the oil of devotion or Namasmarana. It will then be possible for you to light the lamp of wisdom. (CK, p. 3)
