The text describes life as a 'whirlpool' of struggles. According to Chapter 17, what is the recommended way to navigate these difficulties?

Chapter 17 describes life as a challenging "whirlpool of children, friends, and wife, filled with the crocodiles of lust and anger," and agitated by waves of hope and shocks of distress. The advice given for navigating this is not to despair or "break into pieces." Instead, one should engage in self-counsel, reminding oneself of the true Self by thinking, "that you are the pure Brahman yourself." The text suggests that the suffering comes from being deluded by the ego and forgetting one's true nature. The ultimate solution is to transcend the dual states of bondage and liberation to remain in a pure, self-controlled state, rising above the turmoil of the whirlpool.
