For those people who really want to progress in spirituality, here is a small thread on Sri Yukteshwar’s teaching to Swami Yogananda Paramhamsa (Autobiography of a Yogi fame)
which you may find useful in these troubled times.

This is from his books which relate this particular lesson well:
Swami Yogananda’s words:

“My master Sri Yukteswar's training in this was wonderful.
No matter what happened, he accepted no excuse for my becoming mentally ruffled.”

He continues:
“I used to go to the ashram and sit at his feet to meditate and listen to his wisdom. When the time drew near for me to go to catch my train, he would be aware of my mental restlessness, and would just smile at me and say nothing that gave me leave to depart.”

Note that Sri Yukteshwar must have noted some physical sign related to the mental restlessness in Swami Yogananda.
The symbolism for “restlessness when the train was to depart” is to do with “restlessness when the train departs to go towards Mrityu”
Here is the mental training.

“At first I thought he was very unreasonable. But after a somewhat strained period of this discipline, he explained: "I am not grudging your preparing timely to go to the train,- but I say there is no need for you to be restless. Why allow nervous excitement to ruffle the mind?”

Note that the act of calming the mind when you are restless applies to Mrtyu.

“You should be naturally calm when you are with me,and when train time comes, calmly get ready to go." He made me miss several trains until I learned how to be calmly active as well as actively calm”

Thus one slowly realised that the calm mind achieved during meditation is to applied at all times, to all places and to all situations.
This is of course very difficult and it is possible to fail numerous times.
But that’s immaterial...

Even if one falls down numerous times one must realise that its possible to get back up and keep trying.
It’s immaterial how many times one fails as long as one passes in the end when the moment of truth comes.
