How to Handle Agitation

In this talk, Swamiji asks us not to complain about the mind, but know the mind, thinking processes and effects that the thoughts produce like agitations, fears etc. Knowledge of the mind, which is the Changeless Substratum of all thoughts, is the only treatment to be unaffected by all mental agitations. Such a Knowledge of the mind alone will resolve all afflictions, when applied in any situation and one can take remedial corrective measures accordingly.

With this Knowledge alone, the mental agitations can be handled. Swamiji mentions how the snake has venom within itself, but never gets poisoned by it, despite poisoning others. Similarly, the Knowledge of the reality of the mind alone is the treatment of all affectations produced by the thought processes.
