The mind must become the servant of the intellect, not the slave of
the senses. It must discriminate and detach itself from
identification with the body. The kernel of the ripe tamarind fruit
is not attached to the outer shell; likewise the mind must be
unattached to this shell called the body. Strike an unripe tamarind
fruit with a stone and you cause harm to the pulp inside; but, when
you strike the ripe fruit it is the dry rind that falls off; nothing
affects the pulp or the seed. The mature aspirant does not feel the
blows of fate or fortune; it is the unripe one who is wounded by
every blow.
