→How to Change Different Parts of The Being?
When one wants to change something of the material life, whether the character or the functioning of the organs or habits, one must have an unfaltering perseverance, be ready to begin again a hundred times the same thing with the same intensity with which one did it the first time and as though one had never done it before. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/30-march-1955#p22</ref>
===By Detachment===
Detach means to stand back and refuse to look on the movement as his own (the soul's own) and look on it as a habit of past nature or an invasion of general Nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-detachment-and-the-witness-attitude#p6</ref>
===By Surrender to Divine===
Surrender means to consecrate everything in oneself to the Divine, to offer all one is and has, not to insist on one's ideas, desires, habits etc., and to allow the divine Truth to replace them by its knowledge, will and action everywhere.

The physical consciousness is full of inertia—it wants not to move but to be moved by whatever forces and that is its habit. This inertia has to be cured by putting it into contact with the right forces from above. To aspire for the higher wideness, purity and peace, so that that may occupy the physical and the true Force work instead of these invading ideas and impulses. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p20</ref>
The spirit of vital falsehood, dramatic and romantic, obscurs the reason and shuts out common sense and simple truth. To clear the vital, one must get out of it all compromise with falsehood—no matter how specious the reason it advances—and get the habit of simple straightforward psychic truth engraved in it so that nothing may have a chance to enter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-nature-of-the-vital#p15</ref>
