Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951
Please try to find TIME FOR BHAJAN when your mind is fresh and the body less tired. If you can manage it early morning after you have had you full sleep, is very good. The meditation that you do now is doubly useful, for it will influence the mentality of the child and will plant GOOD SANSKARAS - prenatal impressions – on the child. Your thinking of the Master and reading books, either satsang literature or other good moral books, will have the same effect.
36. The Inner Power is unerring and, if only the disciple has enough faith and love, the response is always there. All things come to him who does his duty and waits in love and faith.
37. PRAN YOG IS AN ARTIFICIAL METHOD. IT AIMS AT CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH. AT DEATH PRAN IS LEFT BEHIND AN WITH IT, THE MEANS OF CONTROLLING THE MIND. It is like putting chains on a bad character, so long as chain are holding him, he behaves all right; but as soon as the chain removed the bad character resumes his old evil ways. Moreover, Pran Yoga involves danger to health and that is also why the Master do not approve of this method. The method of the saint is natural. They want to control and concentrate the mind by means of repetition while the attention is fixed at the eye center. by constant to concentrate and the body being to be vacated from the extremities upward until the whole body becomes numb and all the soul and mind currents are concentrated in the eye center. and when the sound current is contacted, the mind comes under control forever.
No doubt yogis are earnest an sincere, but that does not affect the method they prescribe. The purpose of life is to bring about vacate the entire body. Precisely the same thing happen at death. This is technically knows as “SEPERATING THE ANIMATE FROM THE INANIMATE” the method of repetition should not cause pain anywhere is the body, after the period of meditation. if there is any pain, a doctor should be consulted. You should read all the available literature on this path.
Do not try to catch the sound. Try to bring about concentration by means of repetition. When the concentration grows, the sound will come itself.
38. Meditation is a mental process, and if one can take the attention in at any time, it is easily done. Regularity of the time seclusion and adoption of certain postures are aids to the process of concentration, and are very desirable because the prevent the attention from being distracted. But if it is not possible to keep certain hours, Meditation and concentration may be practice in any posture and at any time which is convenient to you. Likewise Simram or the repetition of the Holy Names can be practice quietly especially when one has leisure.
