Chapter 19 offers very practical guidance for spiritual cultivation. It suggests that when a wave of good thoughts arises, particularly in the early morning hours, a devotee should consciously nurture it. Doing so is said to bring great satisfaction, develop the intellect, and please the mind. The text provides a personal example of resolving to chant the name of Rama, beginning the practice mentally on Wednesday night and carrying that firm resolve through the morning's activities. A devotee is encouraged to surrender with an undivided heart and treat Baba's words as authoritative, which is described as finding a "mine of happiness in this world and the next."
