The shadow of the moon falling upon the sun is not the calamity that people should fear; the shadow of Maya falling upon the intelligence is the eclipse that has to be treated as a bad omen, as inauspicious. The mind is the moon, the intelligence is the sun; see that they do not suffer eclipse. Then, you are safe. Do not worry when something happens in the outer sky; worry when the shadow of some desire, some foul passion, some monstrous emotion, some fell intention casts its evil gloom over your inner sky. See splendour of the Lord, the love rays of His Grace are not dimmed in the recesses of your heart. (SSS Vol.5, pp. 132-133)
