Meditation as much as possible.

The Master's Voice 18

When we are in the August Company of The Saints and The Master, we experience an unknown feeling, we go numb, blank. All our worldly thoughts suddenly vanish away. We are totally relaxed and at Peace with our Self. No stress, strain or pressure. But, the moment, we move away from the sight of The Master, we are back to being normal. Our thoughts, stress, strain and pressure are back.

The Saints say, "It is because you were immersed in The Master's Darshan and your eyes were focused on The Master. The moment, your focus shifts, the thoughts are back."

The distraction could be an object, sound, smell or touch. Even though, we are sitting in front of The Master, we move far away from Him.

The Saints say, "Mere presence in front of The Master is not sufficient. Alongwith the eyes, other sense organs need to be oriented towards The Master."

The Master's Satsang or spiritual discourse helps us to focus on the Preachings of The Master. We are Seeing The Master and also Simultaneously listening to His words. Our focus is now on The Master and His words.

To create the right environment for us to live in the Remembrance of The Lord, The Master in His Satsang elucidates The Lord's glory, our relationship with The Lord, the purpose of our life, our true position in this life, how we can escape from this.

Bhajans praising the Lord and Listening to miracles enacted by The Lord enables us to be in the right environment.

The Saints say, "The Master's try to orient our mind towards The Lord. There will be two benefits - First, we will live in the Remembrance of The Lord and second, we will not be involved in unwanted worldly gossip mongering."

Before reaching The Master's place, our ears had been attuned to worldly vibes. If, we are deeply entrenched, it will take longer time to Orient towards The Lord. But, Listening to The Master's Satsang, Bhajans and The Lord's Leela will soothen us up. We need to make these our friends, our regular companion.

The Master's say, "On our own, we cannot bring the astray mind under control. Only by living in the Remembrance of The Lord constantly, we can make it our practice."

Only the fortunate, The Chosen One by The Lord, gets to reach The Master. It is for us to now Live in The Master's Will, do as much Meditation as possible.
