[Part
Three]
The
rocking motion felt by you during meditation shows that you remain conscious of
the withdrawal process of the sensory currents from the body below. As
regards your (family) visiting you, you should be more careful and considerate
about your spiritual obligations. You can seek their loving cooperation in this
behalf in all politeness when they would feel obliged to accede to your humble
request with the grace of the Master. Please convey my love to them. The
difficulties experienced in regard to your withdrawal up to the eye focus and
deep concentration will be overcome by persistent efforts. Please note that you
are neither to watch the process of withdrawal of the sensory currents from the
body below, not exert any pressure at the eye focus to attain deep concentration,
but simply continue looking intently and patiently into the middle of whatever
you see within, light or darkness. All else is to come of itself in due course
with His grace. The stray thoughts intrude during the slackening of inner gaze
and as such you should develop habit of staying with at the eye focus by loving
devotion. The
images manifesting within are the result of some past thoughts which can be
excluded by Simran of the charged names. These words carry the life impulse of
the Master and serve as sure sheet anchor against the onslaughts of negative
powers. Anytime you are overtaken with some horrifying phenomena, just give out
charged names, you will be blessed with instantaneous help and protection. I am
glad to find that both of you are devoting time for your holy meditations with
the result that you are blessed with the divine revelations of lights and holy
sound current of bells, ocean roar, etc., as coming from the right side with the
grace of the Master. These should be developed by more of accuracy and
steadfastness. The sound current if becomes audible during Simran and vision
practice, should not be listened and entire attention be devoted to the looking
into the middle of light, which will grow brighter and ultimately open to give
further way up. The manifestations of black space with golden sunlight has a
deep significance. Please continue looking into the middle of whatever you see
within and do mental Simran of charged names, very very slowly, maybe at
intervals, so that the inner gaze is not disturbed. The charming Radiant Form
of the Master usually manifests in the strong golden light and if it does
appear, please test its genuineness by
Simran. If it stands before the charged names, know it for certain that it is
genuine and friendly, which will be helpful for your inner journey on to the
True Home of the Father. You should look lovingly into the lustrous eyes and
forehead of the Radiant Form. You will develop receptivity and He will speak to
you to your gratuitous joy. The
listening of the sound current as coming from the right side is equally
important and as such regular time should be given for the same as well for
ensuring steady progress. For
overcoming your difficulties in concentration you are advised to please relax
fully, repose your aspirations in the Master and resign to His Will. All else
will follow automatically. As
regards your query about posture as referred to in 'Spiritual Gems,' you should
please sit in any posture most suited to your convenience in which you can sit
for longer periods undisturbed, straight but fully relaxed. Sitting squat is
considered most convenient and suitable for introversion within when the sole
body is kept in a fully relaxed and straight position. The
inner experiences should not be divulged out to others as it affects inner
progress adversely. You should be careful in this behalf in future. I
appreciate your solemn promise to meditate regularly from now onward. You
should set apart some fixed time for meditations when you are quite fresh, free
and buoyant and then stick to this sacred schedule with firm faith and
determination. The precious moments of earth life spent in meditations are
superbly best utilized and count creditable for inner spiritual progress. You
have not stated about your holy meditations as to how much time you are
spending daily for both the practices of vision and audition. The meditations
are highly efficacious for ensuring inner progress if undertaken correctly
coupled with religious regularity and deep faith. I
find that you could not devote time for your holy meditations for one reason or
the other. It appears that you are too much engrossed in outer pursuits. The
holy meditations do not demand any extra ability but a receptive mind to sit
quietly, with fixed gaze at the eye focus and do mental Simran of the charged
names, and subsequently listening to the sound current as coming from the right
side. It is so simple, rational and easy that even a lad can well understand
and grasp its import. Your
complaint with the mind running wild is genuine and it will continue to trouble
you unless you care to enchain it with the Simran of charged names, loving
remembrance of the Master, or listening to the sound current coming from right
side. This is the only and tried medicine. Leave all and follow the above
injunction very carefully. You can expect positive results in a few months with
the grace of the Master. It is the suppressed ego which does not permit the
dear ones to meditate regularly otherwise if you can be friends with the mind
by careful planning and right living, you will find that the holy Path is most
easy, enjoyable and full of ravishing bliss and harmony. Howsoever
time factor is very much necessary.You must not be hasty but like an ardent
student of art you should learn bit by bit, when you would be able to
assimilate the rare gems of divine bliss and benefit from their rare worth. |
