Mind is like milk

The mind is like milk. If we keep the mind in the world, which is like water, then the milk and the water will get mixed up. That is why people keep milk in a cool place and let it set into curds, and then churn butter from it. Likewise, through spiritual discipline practiced in solitude, churn the butter of knowledge and devotion from the milk of the mind. Then that butter can easily be kept in the water of the world. It will not get mixed up with the world. The mind will float detached from the water of the world.
