Meditation is extremely important, but we don’t understand its importance.

Knowledge given by Master is understood (intellectually), but to dissolve the unstable mind, our _Sampradaya_ (lineage) emphasis on Meditation. Meditation is extremely important, but we don’t understand its importance. As a _sadhaka_ (aspirant) meditate as much as possible. Spend at least an hour or two on Meditation. We say, I am unable to focus (concentrate)! Everyone complains. They come to me saying we are unable to concentrate; many thoughts are flowing. (I say) Let the thoughts come, why worry? It’s natural for thoughts to flow. I give an example, if you are digging a well, you are bound to come across mud and rocks, stones, pebbles etc. You won’t get water immediately; you will have to try hard. Only after removing all mud and stones etc., then water will be found. Similarly, there are many impressions on our mind which we are carrying, they will slowly and silently dissolve, with Meditation.

Change Yourself as per the Teachings of the Master
