"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind" Henry David Thoreau / the mind's fluctuations are stilled by practice and dispassion / we've got rājasic & tāmasic saṁskāras, distracting memories & tendencies inherited from time immemorial / how practice becomes firmly established / through regulation comes freedom / re-establishing the cosmic order / Vedic knowledge to purify words, mind and hearing
