Only the perfectly unattached and pure can be real workers, for they alone do not work like slaves driven by their personal affections and aversions, and they alone do not bring bondage, delusion and attachment to others.

Real freedom consists in freedom from love and hate and from affection and aversion, as well as in perfect sense-control and mind-control. As soon as the body and mind are really controlled, we feel even physically that life is worth living, because it is then that we cease to be slaves and puppets of personal love and desires, and are able to rise to the true stature of a human being.

If the aspirant steadily tries to feel the Divine Presence within and to forget everything else but God, no great dangers will arise from people or objects. Temptations will drop off until they leave him for good.
