What do you see there?” “I see a bird on the tree,” replied Yudhisththira. “No. You are no good. Go to that side,” said Drona. Then he called Bhima. “What do you see?” “I see a bird tied to a branch of a tree.” “No good. Go that side.” Then he tested the other two brothers, and they also failed. Then Arjuna was called and asked, “What do you see?” “I see a black spot, and I see nothing else,” he replied. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is the concentration that is expected in meditation on Brahman. It has already been mentioned that it is very subtle. H...

We cannot work by fear; we can work only by love. This applies not only to factories and offices, but also to the work called meditation in the spiritual field.

God can only attract us. ------------------------------ It is Aristotle who mentioned in his metaphysics that God pulls the world towards Himself as the beloved pulls the lover. These are examples and illustrations which defy logical considerations and mathem...
