Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

We are not able to meditate. We do not know the procedure even. What

are we to do?

 

When the procedure is not correctly known and you are not able to

concentrate as you meditate, do not waste time. Do some good work. It

is ridiculous sitting down for meditation, while thinking of all

sense objects and sensual pleasures. It is purely a waste of time. In

fact, if it is true meditation, the feeling, " I am meditating " ,

should totally vanish. The three - `the one that meditates, the one

whom you meditate upon' and the `process of meditation' should be

unified. This is called triputi. Always keep in mind one important

thing. You are as much far from me as I am from you. You should

always experience proximity with God and finally identify yourself

with Him. The fruit of your meditation depends on this. With

conviction that God is everywhere and by loving and serving all,

giving up selfishness and self-interest, you will experience the

benefit of true meditation and you will know that your reality is

atma, the self.

 

One example you might remember about meditation. Here are two

tumblers of which one is full of milk that has to be poured out into

the other tumbler. What do you do? You hold the tumbler filled with

milk in one hand and the empty tumbler in the other, and slowly pour

milk. The two tumblers should be held tight. If the tumbler with milk

is shaking for any reason, the milk spills out. If the other tumbler

is not held tight, and starts shaking, you can never collect milk. In

other words, both the tumblers must be kept steady. The upper tumbler

with milk is God, who should be pleased with your unflinching

devotion while the lower tumbler, which represents the devotee should

have unwavering faith.
