...gain dominion over adverse conditions. Dominion is not the power to work against the natural laws of the universe, or against one another, but is "the power to overcome evil by good."

In the Upanishad is written, "Mind can never know Brahma; words can never describe him. He can only be known by our soul, by its joy in him and by its love for him. Let man but once understand this great truth, and every obstacle, every task will become a joy; remain ignorant and we will pass from starvation to starvation, from trouble to trouble, and from one fear even to another...
