Spiritual peace is only achieved through the
feeling of the Divine communion with the Creator.
1)- During meditation one should not think, to
analyse, to discuss mentally about something. Begin your meditation minding the
way of breathing and feel this breath with the Unity, feel the love for life, of
the Divine presence in your hearth.
2)- To meditate properly is to pose an attitude
of union so that the source of the One (the Creator), can flow freely into the
channels of the Verse (human beings). Be the observer and the observed, feel
the Divine presence breathing with this union.
3)- To meditate is to serve as an intermediary
between the fullness of the One and of the Verse's emptiness.
4)- The emptiness of the channels (of the ego)
consists in the complete absence of any activity of feelings, thoughts and
desires, especially of hatred and rancour.
5)- To be in meditation is to be 0% thoughtful
and 100% conscious.
6)- Meditation is the attitude to cease to be
ego-thought in order to be Cosmo-thought. The Father and I are one, one and only
consciousness.
7)- To think is a continuous analytical process –
to be conscious is a state of simultaneous intuition. It is the union of the
Personality with the Soul, as a Spirit or the Divine presence.
8)- To meditate is to be everything without doing
anything; is the ego's nadir and the zenith of the Self.
9)- Whoever meditates properly empties his ego
from all obstacles and obstructions and links his empty channel with the
fullness of the Source. The emptiness is the link, the deliverance of the
personality to the Unity. Is to breathe with the One, is to feel the love of
the Creator in the heart.
10)- According to the Cosmic Laws, the fullness
of the One infallibly fills in the emptiness of the Verse - and this
Cosmos-fullness is directly proportional to the ego-emptiness.
11)- The Cosmos-fullness cannot fulfil the
ego-fullness, because "God resists the proud (ego-full) and gives grace to the
humble (ego-empty)."
12)- No man can be the Source, but every man can
and should be the channel in order for the living waters of the Source to flow
through him.
13)- The more Cosmo-full will become the human
channel, the higher will be his ego-emptiness.
14)- During meditation man should not worry about
how to put into practice his spiritual experiences.
15)- It is sufficient to be totally full by
cosmic fullness – and the fullness will overflow spontaneously to every single
area of the ego.
16)- The "first and greatest commandment of all"
is the mystical experience of the Creator - which will manifest after by the
ethical way of living with all men through harmony in the diversity.
17)- The experience of the single paternity of
the Creator will be revealed in the practice of the universal brotherhood of
men.
18)- The experience of BEING will manifest in the
practice of the ACTION - because "the works that I do (ego), I don’t do it, but
the Father who is in me (Self)) does it, from myself (ego) I can do
nothing”.
19)- Is more convenient to do meditation in the
best time of the day, and possibly in the same place and at the same time.
20)- The simple fact that someone continues for
months and years to do daily meditation is the best proof of its efficiency,
although with no visible results - can be a period of long incubation before
hatching.
21)- To meditate "is always pray and never cease
to pray," is to "walk in God's presence and be perfect".
22)- The effectiveness of meditation reveals a
gradual and imperceptible change of attitude which is fundamental under all the
occurrences of life.
23)- To meditate is to create the habit of the
presence of God and to have the abiding consciousness that "I and the Father are
one, the Father is in me and I’m in the Father."
24)- True meditation is a cosmic attunement, is
the fine-tuning of the human receptor by the Divine Issuer.
25)- Meditation gives man security and serenity
in all circumstances of life, peace and permanent happiness, joy and kindness to
all creatures of God.
26)- Meditation and sin are incompatible: either
man will stop to sin - or cease to meditate.
27)- One who meditates properly acquires perfect
self-knowledge, which is revealed in self-realization – mystics that manifests
in ethics.
28)- Only man who has the habit of being solitary
in God can without danger, be in solidarity with all the creatures of God.
29)- Man accustomed to meditation proclaims the
sovereignty of his Divine substance on all tyrannies of human circumstances.
30)- Man thus self-realized, "chose that good
part, which shall not be taken."
31)- Many beginners in meditation are concerned
with the problem of placing into practice his spiritual experience, but without
any achievement. They do not know yet that when the mystical vision reaches the
zenith of distinctiveness and intensity overflows irresistibly shaped in daily
practices.
32)- What matters therefore is to intensify the
mystical vision, through an ever more prolonged and perfect tuning - and
practical action will come by itself, perhaps without the ego consciously
realizing it.
33)- The manifestation of mystics into ethics is
not always self-conscious in the way of intermittent acts, but works
Cosmo-consciously shaped like a new permanent attitude under all the
circumstances of daily life, an attitude that the masters calls "pray always” or
“walk into the presence of God”.
Note:
"Apply this test: no matter what path a devotee
follows, he will ultimately have to retrace his way back to God by these
successive steps. I can keep my mind fully concentrated on anything I choose.
When you can shut out restless thoughts at will, and put the attention wholly on
God, that is the real beginning of divine communion. Unless you are able to do
that, you have not reached God". Yogananda
"To invoke God is to call Him to your presence,
is to invite Him to your inner being, to your heart”. Augustine
