Assign to your mind the task
of serving the Lord and it will grow tame.
You hand over only ornaments that
need repair or reshaping to the goldsmith.
So too, give the Lord your mind
that certainly needs repair, if not complete reconstruction.
The blemish that affects the mind is illusion.
It is like a fierce dog that will not allow
any one to approach the master.
Illusion is the Lord's pet and so,
it will not harm you if He orders it not to.
Hence, the way to avoid the dog is by calling
out to the master loudly, so that he comes to
welcome you himself, that is to say by praying
to the Lord to shower His grace upon you.
