How can I mould myself in the spiritual path?

[Smt. Archana Shukla asked: Padnamaskar Swamiji 🙏 Help me Swamiji to control my mind. There are lots of conflicts in my mind. I want to be away from my worldly problems but I can’t. There are two parallel thoughts going on. You are always there in my mind as well as in my thoughts but in practice I am doing nothing. I want to do but still I am doing nothing. I can’t concentrate. Whenever anyhow, if I forcefully manage to do, after two to three days, I end up again in worldly problems. There is no consistency. Help me control my mind. Tell me how I can mould myself in the spiritual path. There are lots of things which I can’t express but You know everything. Help me Datta. At Your lotus feet, Your servant, Jai Guru Datta🙏 archu]

Swami replied: Your words are like the words of a girl trying to learn riding a bicycle. During the learning period, all these problems are inevitable to any soul. By practicing detachment from the world through attachment to God and continuous effort in practice, you will cross over all these problems and reach perfectness. The same question was put by Arjuna to Krishna in the Gita and Krishna replied that practice and detachment will help to get the solution. Your name is Archana, which is almost similar to Arjuna! My original name is also Krishna!! Hence, the advice must be the same.
