Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 D. Is a set meditation necessary for strengthening the mind ? Maharshi - Not if you keep the idea always before you that it is not your work. At first , effort is needed to remind yourself of it , but later on it becomes natural and continuous. The work will go on of its own accord , and your peace will remain undisturbed. Meditation is your true nature. You call it meditation now , because there are other thoughts distracting you. When these thoughts are dispelled , you remain alone - that is , in the state of meditation, free from thoughts ; and that is your own nature , which you are now trying to gain by keeping away other thoughts. Such keeping away of other thoughts is now called meditation. But when the practice becomes firm , the real nature shows itself as true meditation.
