Evenminded endurance is called titiksha in Sanskrit. I have practiced this mental neutrality. When you practice such self discipline, your mind becomes impervious to all disturbing circumstances. If you think
you can't do something, your mind is a slave. Free yourself. Try to rise above disturbances gradually. Endurance is what you must have. Whatever may be your trouble, make a supreme effort to remedy it without worry, and until is is resolved, practice titiksha.
If you are thinking that the winter weather is coming, and your are bound to catch cold, you are not developing mental strength. You have already committed yourself to certain weakness. You must mentally resist. Following commonsense precautions, but will not allow worry about it to invite the illness by weakening my mind. This is the right mental attitude, in your heart. sincerely do your best at all times, but without anxiety. Worry only pralyzes your efforts. If you do your best, God will reach down His hand to help you...
