228 - Pseudo-meditation is a Waste of Time (Path of Perfection, Chapter 7)

Published: March 25, 2021, 4:49 p.m.

Pseudomeditation on the impersonal void is simply a waste of time. Such a show of yoga practice may be materially lucrative, but useless as far as spiritual realization is concerned. I may open a class in yogic meditation and charge people money for sitting down and pressing their nose this way and that, but if my students do not attain the real goal of yoga practice, they have wasted their time and money, and I have cheated them.\n\nTherefore one has to concentrate his mind steadily and constantly on the form of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, and that is called sam\u0101dhi. In K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness, the mind is controlled by engaging it constantly in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Unless one is engaged in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness, he cannot steadily control the mind. A K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious person easily achieves the result of yoga practice without separate endeavor, but a yoga practitioner cannot achieve success without becoming K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious. \u2022\u2022\u2022 read with us: biglink.to/pathofperfection & check out our website for the catalogue of all the books and episodes so far www.sravanamdiaries.com
