“What is meditation? Meditation is spiritual practice or spiritual consummation. The purpose of meditation is oneness.”

“The rules for meditation are similar to the rules for driving a car. Follow the simple instructions!”

“When meditating, do not expect something to happen. Otherwise, you are meditating on your expectations, and you are not doing the meditation itself.”

“Meditation speeds up the evolutionary process by gradually purifying negative tendencies.”

“Meditate for your sake, not for the sake of the Teacher.”

“Preparation for meditation is as important as the meditation itself.”

“The physical and psychological conditions of each person vary. If any discomfort is experienced, stop the meditation and contact your instructor for guidance immediately.”

“Make a schedule. Unless you fix the time, you will not meditate. Make a firm resolution to meditate regularly.”

“If you do not follow the schedule, you will not practice. If you do not practice, you will not advance spiritually. Follow the schedule!”

“Inner noise prevents you from knowing who you really are. Regulate your thoughts and your emotions.”

“When a situation is beyond your control, just be calm. Withdraw and meditate. Wait for the proper time.”

“The cloud of thoughts and emotions in the aura is like a thick hard shell. It clouds everything a person sees, just like wearing dark glasses. This keeps people from thinking clearly. Don’t meditate or think too much about those who hurt you or aggravate you. What you meditate on, you become! Meditate on the guru and the higher beings.”

“Be silent about your inner experiences. When you develop the ability to fly high in the inner world and you come back, be silent.”

“The light is always there. How much light comes in depends on you.”

“People in general are psychologically constipated. Before you do meditation, you must do cleansing to minimize psychological catharsis.”

“During meditation, it is better to take a series of short rests to keep your consciousness focused. This is much better than going straight through the entire long meditation without being focused, wandering from here to there.”

“The Arhatic Model used in practicing Jnana Yoga or Yoga of Understanding has been used since ancient times by holy masters to make their disciples geniuses. Practicing this meditation as a group once a week will develop the mental faculty to a high degree. It will keep the mind flexible.”
