Men complain that such high moods come to them but rarely and leave them too quickly. They do not know that the source of those moods neither comes nor leaves them, for it is ever present, it is their own higher self. Who then makes the move into and out of the mood? If they find the answer, they will find that it is all a matter of thought control. They can develop the capacity to bring thoughts into a stable relationship of obedience and through that to bring consciousness into steadiness and equanimity.
