“The capacity for exercise of discriminative intelligence is enhanced when ‘purification of the lower self’ (Tazkia-e-Nafsa) is achieved. The ‘heart’ or ‘lower self’ is unduly despised generally. The source of thoughts is this (pointing to the forehead between the eye-brows), which is technically called ‘Trikutti’ or ‘two-petalled lotus’ or ‘Ajna Chakra’ or ‘point of firm determination.’

It is a machine continually at work. You (man devoted to the Ultimate) are the one to weaken, as well as the one to strengthen the machine of Nature. When the machine of Nature is very strong (and functioning well), that period is designated as a good time.
