Why ten minute fuse of contemplation ? My preference is not to give even
one minute for the explosion to take place so that Silence and Quietness
is unchained and liberated. Ten minutes is too long a time for the mind
to work its by now well-known web of illusion.

The biggest source of all problems we encounter is the Mind, the
uncontrolled and which roams as it wishes without any leash.

Mindworks Ltd (with its Managing Director, the maaya) is a factory which
creates all sorts of unnecessary and banned (to an advaitin) substances.
I will even add, it creates only unrequired gadgets and puts hindrance
at every step of the way.

The sooner we get rid of this factory, the closer we are to remove the
veil of ignorance.
