Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 MEDITATION: It confers three gifts. First, it brings deep peace and tranquility of mind. Second, it brings clear intuition. Third, if pursued with constancy and devotion, it leads to the direct experience of the Divine. Sit quietly with your back straight. Close your eyes and relax and then set your attention on your nostrils watching your breath passing in and out. At each inhalation, you take note: `In', you say silently to yourself; on the exhalation, you say `Out'. Breath is the only true, factual, indisputable reality we know. Everything else is happening within our minds; they are projections of our minds. – Sophy Burnham DIVING INTO THE HEART By Alan Jacobs If it's blessed peace you wish to find, Be sure, my friend, it's in the mind. You may be in the middle of the muddle of the world Where noise and trouble are continuously unfurled, Yet remain quiet and quiet serene Ruling the monkey mind like a King or Queen. So does Imperial Self rule the whirl of thought In which the poor pilgrim is mainly caught. Serenity is not only found in forest calm Or by ocean beach's breezes and balm, But by resting in the cave of the heart Knowing full well that `That Thou Art " .
