Progress through Meditation
In fact, I know abhyasis who have come up in Master's estimation and
have made very fast progress beyond all expectations, who used to meditate
in trains and planes and cars. I mean, if you are travelling from Santa
Cruz to Bombay every day for your job and you have a driver and a company
car, what prevents you from closing your eyes and meditating? It is
wiser to close your eyes in cars. Sit at the back, relax. After all,
when Master gives us so many facilities, deservingly or undeservingly,
we must put them to the best possible use. Even if you are going to
the beach for a walk, sit and meditate during that time. Twenty minutes
is twenty minutes. "No, no, Babuji prescribes one hour." Yes,
that is in the morning. The other meditations you can do even for ten
minutes, twenty minutes, forty minutes, but not more than one hour at
a time.
Meditation is a process of digesting the spiritual sustenance that our
Master pours into us. Therefore the more we meditate, the faster we
progress. Meditation becomes a habit, meditation becomes an activity
which we not only cannot stop but which we start enjoying so much that
we prefer it to everything else.
