cetasā nānyagāminā
paramaṃ puruṣaṃ divyaṃ

By the force of constant thinking and reflection, one attains the supreme divine Purusha, provided such thinking remains exclusive and the mind takes to it assiduously.
Chapter 8: Akshara Brahma Yoga – Comprehending the Imperishable Reality - Verse 8
Ma Gurupriya
Spiritual attainment is absolutely inner and personal. It has no physical distinguishing mark. The practice as well as its effect is by, in and for the mind itself.
One has to be steadfast in his pursuit. To enter into the mind, gain a hold on it, and institute a new thought process may not be easy. But it can be done provided the seeker is studious and discreet.
The practice is first to set right the thinking process, then to intensify it, and thereafter to wholesomely lead the mind to its Source. At that time the choice-contemplation assumes power and potential to manifest what it yearns for.
In dream the mind alone becomes the many objects, nay the world itself, which the dreamer experiences and courses through. Likewise, in wakefulness too, the mind takes the form of what it has been thinking and chasing. This is but the law of the mind and its becoming.
