I could not therefore bear to sleep without a light in the room. ”

“He who banishes all bad desires arising in his mind may be described as a sthita-prajna — one who is situated in perfect knowledge, one who is steadfast in action. Though, of course, ultimately we all should arrive at a stage when we should banish all desires, even the desire to see God; to a person in that stage all action becomes spontaneous.

Our desire to see God ceases when we are lost in Him, have become one with Him.”
