Sadhaka : I am grateful to you for explaining the technique of the lofty concept of classical meditation. Will you please give me some more practical hints? Gurudev : Take sattvic (pure) and light diet. Take only milk and fruit at night. Read good inspiring, religious books. Have satsanga (association with wise men). Fill the mind with the idea of God and God alone. Saturate the mind with the thoughts of God. Introspect in solitude. Silence the bubbling mind. Allow one thought wave only to rise from the mind. Drive off all extraneous thoughts. Give up planning and scheming. Shut out from the mind all useless thoughts. Substitute sublime thoughts. Don't allow the mind to move in the old ruts, grooves and avenues. Generate new divine vibrations and thought waves. New grooves and avenues will be formed now. Positive overpowers negative. Keep yourself always positive. The mind is ever ready to stop you. Don't hear the shrill voice of the mind. Hear the sweet silent voice of the soul. It will guide you if you are pure and sincere. Your inner Self, the all-pervading Atman is the only Reality, the pure Consciousness. Thou art imperishable Atman. Meditate constantly: "I am the witnessing consciousness, Atman, all-pervading, omnipresent Sat-Chit-Ananda Brahman". The spiritual path is rugged, thorny and precipitous. But the reward is very great. You will become immortal. Persevere. Plod on diligently. |
