Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Disciple: - Do you mean to say Swamiji that these forms of Gods are of no importance? Then, why should we meditate upon such forms? Swamiji: - There is no doubt that the form of the object of meditation is not of much importance. It is the state of meditator’s consciousness that is of value. Yet the mind of the meditator may require something gross to perceive, in the beginning. It is very difficult to conceive an object without any form when an aspirant begins to practice concentration and meditation. Those who had practiced such meditations in their previous lives and attained realizations of personal Gods with forms may be able to begin meditations on God without any form. Others are to begin with some gross objects for meditations. If such objects are not accepted in the beginning that aspirant may not be able to perceive properly the impersonal state of God. Now you can understand that the form of God also is of importance for all aspirants in the course of spiritual practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
