Title: Bhaktananda on Meditation Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Apr 10, 2013 10:59 pm Master (Paramahansa Yogananda): meditation is dropping body consciousness, remembering who you are and coming back and ruling the body. If we are not the masters of the body we are slaves. Meditation leads us to remember our oneness with God. Everytime Master spoke about meditation it was new. These definitions may not even be in the lessons. He did not repeat himself. Meditation: restoring the consciousness in God. Meditation is the missing link between man church and God. We've got to have a divine frame of mind all day we've got to learn. When you pray use force of will put the power of devotion into it. Really ask God to be with you in your meditation Stillness: Master said the yogi keeps tuning out restless thoughts. If you have a restless thought; push it out of the mind. 'Sitting in the Silence' is a song with Masters words an old Harry Lauder song... When the mind has gone to rest that's the time I see him best. Remember when you meditate you are with God not in a room If you feel that you have a lot of work to do and years before you find God and he is far away we are finished; as far as finding God is concerned Review these thoughts before you meditate and practice them. God can come in a moment and wipe away all our difficulties he sees the effort we are making. |
