I consider him one of the few jivan muktas i would have seen in my whole life. He said to swami sitangi, who was not a swami at that time, he was a bramachary: if it is worth doing, it is worthdoing well. So mahbah e say, you are a great warrior. You must persist. If you take up something, don't give it up. The mind will not become concentrated naturally but by practice. We behave as if it should come by itself. In spiritual life none of these things come easily or naturally. Nothing in anything good in civilized life does. It doesn't happen that fast.
