Helpful hints on Meditation

• Do not try to strain your neck or shoulder muscles during spiritual mediation, nor put any pressure on your brain, eyes and so forth. Spiritual concentration does not depend on putting pressure on any part of the body.

 

•  The aim of spiritual practice is firstly and primarily to make the mind motionless so that no thought of any kind may disturb it while listening to the Sound. As the vibrations of the mind are made quite, the Sound Current will of Itself become clearer and clearer, without any need of putting pressure on the eyes, ears and brain.

 

• For stilling the vibrations of the mind, all that is necessary is to repeat the five holy Names with care and attention, so that the mind does not wander. If it wanders during mediation, then a second link should be applied to it by concentrating on the form of Guru. But there is no need of putting any strain on the body .

 

• Any posture in which you can remain for long would do for concentration . Frequent changes of position interfere with concentration.

 

• You should not sit in meditation with excitement to see or to achieve. Then your mind is always running in excitement and it is not steady and still. Unless the mind is still and steady at the eye centre, it does not get the desired results.
