Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! MEDITATE IN SILENCE "It is impossible to find God outside of ourselves. Our own souls contribute all the divinity that is outside of us. We are the greatest temple. The objectification is only a faint imitation of what we see within ourselves. Concentration of the powers of the mind is our only instrument to help us see God. If you know one soul, your own, you know all souls, past, present and to come. The concentrated mind is a lamp that shows us every corner of the soul. Truth cannot be partial; it is for the good of all. Finally, in perfect rest and peace meditate upon It, concentrate your mind upon It, make yourself one with It. Then no speech is needed : silence will carry the truth. Do not spend your energy in talking, but meditate in silence; and do not let the rush of the outside world disturb you. When your mind is in the highest state, you are unconscious of it. Accumulate power in silence, and become a dynamo of spirituality." (VII. 59-61) Satchitananda Kathy COMPLETE WORKS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA; Edited and compiled into MEDITATION AND ITS METHODS by Swami Chetanananda, minister, of the St. Louis Vedanta Society.
