You repeat the name of the Lord, sing hymns
and perform meditation to earn single-mindedness, is it not?
Once this single mindedness has been earned,
its inner significance will be revealed to you and
effort will become unnecessary.
Those eager to become aspirants,
to attain salvation, should not yield to arguments and counter-arguments.
You should not be enticed by the wiles of bad feelings!
You should see your own faults and not repeat them.
You should guard and protect the one-pointedness,
with your eyes fixed on the goal, and dismiss as trash
whatever difficulties, defeats and disturbances you may encounter on your path.
