Why should we persist in our spiritual practices and for how long? Bhagawan lovingly points out to us today. As a result of meditation on the highest Atma (Paramatma), the mind will withdraw from sense objects and the sensory world. Just at that time, the intellect (buddhi) must assert its authority and command the mind not to entertain any feeling except the thoughts of the Fundamental Basis. When its basic truth is known, the mind will not be deluded by the evanescent, untrue, and unblissful. Instead, it will welcome the blossoming of joy, happiness, and truth, and it will not be affected by sorrow and grief. One’s life assumes a new splendour when one visualises and realises bliss in the awareness of the Supreme Reality (Satchidananda) through mind and intellect (manas and buddhi) that is purified and transformed by meditation. The taste of the fruit is evident when the whole fruit is eaten with no portion left behind! So too, when the taste of meditation is discovered, one will discard all doubt and discussion thereon and engage oneself fully in it.
