53. The foundation of the practice is the ability to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.
Stilling the mind is achieved only by the degrees as the end is in the habit of going out. Besides the stored impressions of age, in our subconscious mind begin to come to the surface when we begin our meditation. SIMRAM (Repetition of five Holy Names) is the only remedy, repetition is course of time, will solve all these difficulties and also take you to the eye center.

55. your problem is both physical and mental the FIRST is easily death with, although the physical and mental act and react on each other. A good nourishing diet should replenish your ENERGY and enable you to meet the situation, but to worry is no good.
Most of us seek the truth, but it is not possible to find truth outside. You must seek it within yourself and when you have realized within yourself you will see it everywhere. You have been instructed in this science and explained the technique of “GOING IN” and after you practice the technique diligently, you will make Spiritual Progress and become indifferent to the squabbles of the world.
56. As a rule, concentration become difficult when we have cares and worries, for then the attention stick to the heart center instead of rising up to the Eye Center.
When you sit for your Meditation firmly banish all cares and anxieties for the time being at least and start the Repetition of the five Names while holding the attention in the eye center, with no other thought in your MIND not even the thought of going up or of measuring your progress.
Give as much time to meditation as you conveniently can and do not try to force result. “How do love the Master” Repetition of the Names should be done diligently, at the proper center, to the exclusion of all other thoughts. As you follow the Path with faith in and reliance on the Master, love will also develop. Faith in the Master while resigning our faculties to the best of our know ledge, is the way of developing love.
