As we indulge in Sadhana what should we be careful about? What should we diligently avoid? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today!   Repetition of God’s name and meditation (japa and dhyana) should never be judged on mere external standards. Their essence is their relationship to the Atma. The immortal Atmic experience should never be mixed up with low activities of the temporal world. Such activities deserve to be avoided. If room is given for them, and if one sways between impatience and sloth, and if one always worries oneself, feeling, “Why has it not come yet? Why is it still far away?” then it all becomes simply japa and dhyana done with intent to gain, with an eye on the fruit thereof. The single fruit of japa and dhyana is this: the conversion of the out-faced into the in-faced; the turning inward of one’s eye, the inward eye seeing the reality of Atmic bliss. For this transformation, one has to be always active and hopeful, regardless of the time taken and the difficulties encountered. One should not count the cost, the time, or the trouble. One should await the descent of the Lord’s grace. This patient waiting is itself the austerity (tapas) of meditation.
