Meditation in the Heart

[Guest guest]

"If we simply concentrate our attention on the inhalation and

exhalation of our breath regularly for a few minutes daily, we shall

find ourselves committed to the practice of meditation in the Heart.

This is why it is called the Direct Path.

What is required is for the aspirant to meditate in the Heart by

watching the incoming and outgoing of the breath. When we chant a

prayer or repeat a mantra loudly, we should watch the source of the

sound and soon it would become clear that the sound rises from the

Heart and with constant practice the sound takes us to the Heart and

Peace and Bliss flow into our lives.

This is the simple method which could easily be adopted by anyone,

anywhere. The mind begins to abide in the Heart and the ego is

automatically rooted out. Bhagavan's teaching is so simple and direct

that it does not involve the arduous task of reading a library of

books just to find the Source of our existence."
