ABSTRACT
The reactivity of the mind which permits the modifications should be overcome by direct effort. Direct effort is the effort during the period set apart for practice of drawing the mind off from thoughts. Renunciation should necessarily be practised, but first bodily health, material wealth and mental wealth are to be achieved. Renunciation is the act of fulfilling one’s spiritual needs by restraining sense-desires and selfishness. Yogic culture in the end brings attainment of a sound body, a sound mind, and a sanctified soul. All these are had through unselfish service and fulfilment of duty to oneself and to humanity. Meditation is absolutely necessary for emancipation from the bondages of the earth and for bathing in the blissful effulgence of God-consciousness. Godlike men are detached from the fetters of the flesh. Godly men do their duty towards themselves, towards relations, towards the community, towards the province, and towards their nation.
