[Jitendra Hydonus]

"The great battle of meditation is with restless thoughts. Only when the thoughts quiet down in meditation and you concentrate on God alone can you contact Him. The radio of the ordinary mind is full of static; but when the static is eliminated by concentration and devotion, God will come in. Have you been able to shut off your restless thoughts when meditating? No? This is why the teachings of Self-Realization Fellowship(Yogoda Satsanga Society of India) are invaluable. As soon as you tune out restlessness by these scientific techniques, the personal aspect of God will come to you."
