SALVATION and perdition are contrived by the mind; send your mind to a solitary spot, to dwell with holy men; watch over it, for it runs a headlong course of its own. Honour and dishonour are the tokens by which the mind judges; but it will concentrate itself if you force it to. Tuka says, It is the mind that carries us over the stream of the world, or binds us to the eight million re-births.
