control of your discerning intellect.
Be a master, not slave of your

Passive
subservience to emotion ruins your material and even spiritual well being.
Your intellect, rather than the impulse of your mind, should guide your life’s activities.
Your intellect, rather than the impulse of your mind, should guide your life’s activities.
Do not fall a prey to your likes and
dislikes. Nor yield to your feeling and emotion.
Learn to become
self-sufficient.
