Be aware of your weaknesses. Be fully aware of them. Man is his mind. He is the very composition of his mind. When one performs certain actions repeatedly, one's mind gets fixed with certain impressions. We live in a world of reactions related to the outer world of objects. The quality of one's experiences depends upon the quality of the mind that one brings up to undergo the experience. The mind, being what it is, is ordered and set by the various impressions it has gathered in its different transactions in life. Thus, when we control and chasten the motives and thoughts in the mind, we purify it.
- Swami Chinmayananda
