Bhagavan: It must become so deep rooted

[Guest guest]

Q: What should we meditate on?

M: Who is the meditator? Ask that question first. Remain as the

meditator, then there is no need to meditate. It is the sense of

doership that is the impediment to dhyana.

 

Q: What is to be meditated on?

M: Anything you prefer, but you should stick to one thing.

Contemplation involves fighting. As soon as you begin meditation

other thoughts will crowd in, gather force and try to sink the single

thought. The latter must gain strength by repeated practice. This

battle always takes place in meditation.

Peace of mind is brought about by contemplation and through the

absence of varying thoughts. Once dhyana is well-established it

cannot be given up, but will go on automatically even when you are

engaged in work, play or even sleep. It must become so deep-rooted

that it is natural.

Dhyana: Successful meditation. Meditation through deliberate mental

effort. Repetition of a mantra or name of God with devotion.
