Ultimate Meditation

Mind is the life and soul of the Meditation . While meditating, the mind should be focused on the Naam, Roop, Guna, Leela, Dham or the Saints of God. While meditating, one must bring a feeling of extreme powerlessness or deenata. The feeling should be stronger than a helpless grass blade which is crushed all the time and can do nothing.

Whatever happens in the world, the effort should be to keep the mind in God and Guru only. The devotee should feel that God and Guru are sitting right in front of him and that the form he is visualizing is Real and Divine. The devotee should shed tears and long for God to appear.

Stray Mind - Our Enemy

The uncontrolled mind is like an enemy. But don't think of destroying it. When we teach it to love God, the mind becomes our best friend.

Arjun asked Shree Krishna in the Bhagavad Geeta, "How can I overcome my mind, which is obstinate and more restless than the wind?" Shree Krishna answered, "Arjun! Control of the mind is difficult, but not impossible. It can be accomplished by detachment and practice. Let us apply ourselves to practice, with dedication, sincerity, regularity and optimism. "Abhyas...abhyas...abhyas..." is an important word.
