senses. Once the mind is mastered, the senses are automatically mastered, and the soul is saved from virtuous or ungodly action.

The Lord said: “Surrender to me, and I will take you under my protection”.
It is written: “Those who already know that the soul is distinct from the body, who are freed from the implacable knot of the heart, who always act for the good of all beings and never plan to do the least harm to whoever it is, these always benefit from the protection of God, the Supreme Person, who acts as the supreme time to destroy the demonic unbelievers and protect his devotees”.

These are some of the sublime qualities of a pure devotee of God, the Supreme Person. First, a sage remains firmly convinced of his spiritual identity; he never identifies with the body. He has a firm conviction that the spiritual soul is distinguished from the body. Consequently, he feared nothing; even if his life is threatened, he has no fear whatsoever. He doesn't even treat an enemy as such.
These are the qualities of a wise servant of God. He always relies entirely on God, the Supreme Person, and the Lord, for his part, is always very keen to protect him in all circumstances.
