How does one apply Baba's teachings to deal with the struggles of daily life, like attachments and conflict?

Chapter 17 describes life as a metaphorical whirlpool filled with attachments to family and friends, the crocodiles of lust and anger, and waves of hope that bring constant distress. To navigate this, the text advises that one should not break down but instead advise oneself of their true nature as pure Brahman, which has become temporarily bound by the body. The teachings in Chapter 17 explain that the delusion of 'I and mine' is a mirage born from infatuation. By recognizing this and becoming free of 'mine-ness,' you can transcend these worldly struggles and wake up to your true, forgotten form.
