Spiritual Quotes On meditation

Waiting for anyone is a cause for a tremendously bad life ahead. When the electricity is gone and you wait for it, that is considered as artadhyan (mournful meditation). Twenty years worth of effort gets washed away in waiting for half an hour. In such situations, you simply have to take an adjustment.

From which moment is it considered saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence)? What is the beginning of saiyam? From the moment artadhyan (adverse internal state of being that results in hurting the self) and raudradhyan (an adverse internal state of being that hurts others) stop. Who is considered as asaiyami (one who is under the control of anger-pride-deceit-greed)? The one who is under the control of things that do not belong to him. As long as artadhyan and raudradhyan do not stop, it is considered as yamniyam (one who is either in a state of coming into self restraint or upholding self restraint).

Concentration (ekagrata) is that which is with egoism,whereas meditation (dhyan) is that which remains untouched (nirlep) by the ego.

When the Self (Atma) becomes engrossed (tanmayakar) in the resultant states of the mind, then meditation (dhyan) arises.

Wherever there is ego, meditation (dhyan) does not exist. The inherent nature of the ego is such that dhyan does not exist when the ego is present. Therefore, when dhyan arises it is a resultant state, it is not an activity. Dhyan is the effect that arises from whatever activity the ego does.

Dhyan (meditation) is an effect. An effect cannot be 'done', it arises; it comes about naturally.

For the one whose adverse internal meditation that results in hurting the self (artadhyan) and  adverse internal meditation that results in hurting the self and others (raudradhyan) have ceased, he can attain final liberation in just one more lifetime (ekavtari).

The chit (inner component of knowledge and vision) is to be kept in the eternal element [the Self]. It has to be kept in the real form as the Self (Swaroop). Chanting, penance, meditation, yoga, mantra; those are not eternal things. Those are all temporary adjustments. No thing is eternal. The Self alone is eternal. If the chit has set within the Self, then it will not wander! That is when there will be freedom (mukti)!

Keep the chit (inner component of knowledge and vision) present in all work. There is no dhyan (internal state of being) that is comparable to that.
