"In the inmost centre of the Heart cave, Brahman alone shines - in the form of Atman (Self) with direct immediacy as ‘I’ — ‘I’. Enter into the Heart with questing mind, or by diving deep within, or through control of breath, and abide in the Atman, dissolving the ego. (...)
The greatest tapas (spiritual practice) is to remain at peace, giving up egoism and the notion of doership (in actions), by the understanding that God does everything. Devotee should aim for peace of mind and not remain not inactive; God is the prompter from within - Antaryami - and when the mind is peaceful the urge to act is directly from Him, and may be obeyed.
Though thus resigned to God's will, the seeker should make efforts in the practice of the right method taught by the Guru, so long as he does not cease to be a seeker by the extinction of the ego.
That alone is right action, which is done with a peaceful and pure mind; all action is sinful, which is done with an agitated mind or from desire.
When any act has become fruitful, do not become proud, thinking 'This was achieved by my enterprise'; (on the other hand), become convinced that God is gracious. On failure reflect on the need to obtain divine grace.
By 'fate' is meant only action done by oneself previously with effort; hence with well-directed effort one can wipe off fate."
