Didi Krishna taught us that our minds are scattered. They are dispersed because they are tainted with desire. We need to purify our minds. We must be on guard against three things that make our minds impure: Love of pleasure, the desire for sense gratification and sense- indulgence, the greed of gold – the desire to amass wealth, and the desire for power – fame, name, publicity, popularity, and earthly greatness. We need to create a balance between need and want.
