Seven Steps

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"1. You must possess unflinching devotion towards

the Almighty.

2. This devotion (Bhakti) should transform in to

concentration power.

3. It has already been said that concentration is

a special kind of power. You must use this power

to meditate upon the Almighty only. You should

not use it for anything else.

4. You must always remember that this power of

concentration came to you because of the blessing

of the Almighty and that it was not the result of

your efforts.

5. Remembering this, you must beg the Almighty to

bestow the power to meditate. You must in fact

drown in meditation so much that you should not

even be aware that you are meditating!

6. You should at no point of time use the

meditative power for acquiring any power or

powers.

7. You must always bear in mind that the Almighty

you are meditating upon is all powerful, all

knowing and beyond constraints of time and space.

 

These are the seven steps. If you climb these

steps one by one, you will be able to acquire not

one, but innumerable powers which are available

in nature. How? Because, all these powers are

within yourself! and also because you have become

one with the Almighty who is omnipotent and

omnipresent!"
