Destroying the Mind
In having no settled principles, nothing else matches the mind. Its perception and evidence are completely unreliable. Its nature is to prostitute itself. At an opportune moment for deceiving the sadhaka [religious practitioner], it will jump outwards towards sense objects. So long as the mind survives, its nature will not change. Hence, the mind should be destroyed at its roots by unceasing dhyana[meditation] and vichara[Self enquiry] Until the mind has been destroyed, no sensible aspirant should remain satisfied and think he has accomplished all that needs to be done.
