Donna Halper: How does one discipline one's life? What does one have to do?

Sri Chinmoy: He has to be very careful in every way, beginning with the mind. He has to feel that his mind is a room that has a few doors and windows which will let the whole world inside. The seeker has to close the doors and windows and stand at a particular door. Then he must allow inside only the thoughts and ideas that are going to help him in his spiritual life. Purity, peace, harmony, and so on—these are his friends. So he will allow them to enter into his mind-room and he will converse only with them. This is how the individual can practise.
