Transformation to Meditation:

Proficiency of meditation cannot be achieved through bookish knowledge, reading religious literature, visiting holy places or giving donations. It is not a process of extending information but a steady operation of transformation . Our bodily senses of touch, smell, taste, vision, hearing and mind keep  us attached to this world. There are moment of pleasures and sufferings. But we cannot remain confined to the plane of journey in this universe. Death shall take us to the second plane of inward journey.

The change to the attitude of spirituality requires drastic changes in thoughts behavior and actions. We have to modify ourselves and attam virtuous habits of truthfulness, honesty, humility, tolerance, submission, contentment etc. We have to discard the strong vices of anger, lust, attachment, greed, craving for wealth, ego etc. We must understand that visualization  of God cannot be achieved through deceit, bribery, ostentation, pretensions, propaganda, materialistic experiments.

The soul cannot attain purity and strength unless it leaves the materialistic desires. Strong consciousness to merge with God cannot be attained in a few moments because there are no short cuts in spirituality. Our body is temple of God and our heart is seat of God. Therefore, we must search for God from within. God Himself has designed this temple.

Age of Meditation:

People in general consider that old age beyond 50 years is apropriate for this perpuse. But one should develop the practice of meditation right from the time of attaining consciousness (4th year onwards) There are examples quoted in religious history who adopted meditation in early age. Esteemed Dhruv Bhagat, Prahlad Bhagat, Baba Farid Ji and many more. Everyone must maintain regularity and tend to increase the time devoted for meditation.

Suitable Time for Meditation:

In religious literature, suitable time suggested is between 2 to 5 a.m. because this period is free from noise and air pollution. More so, we can recollect and repeat  God words during routine activities of sittings, walking, exercising, travelling, cooking, ploughing etc. Later on, we should daily spare a good time at safe and silent place in a sitting posture concentrating at spiritual eye centre. A few moments of prayers become more fruitful before starting a new activity, for example, reading, writing, appearing in examination, participating in competitions, driving etc. One must express reverence and gratitude to God on attaining success in any task.

Steps Observed During Meditation:

1. The devotee should concentrate at the ‘deep sleep point’ or spiritual eye focus centre or ‘the spot of 10th Door.’
2. This point is located midway and slightly above the two eyes. In religious aspect, this seat is considered as a connecting place between mind and the soul.
3. It we continue repeating the God Words and raise our conscious to this level. We may develop contact with the bliss of divine melody (sound current).
4. The mind gets suppressed in oblivion but the soul becomes strong enough to establish direct link with the supreme power.
5. Our soul ascends from sole of feet to the spiritual eye centre. This process brings temporary but increasing numbness  of body organs. The sensitivity of lower organs gets minimized, The soul current becomes strong enough to suppress the physical planes and the spirit continues its journey to visualize eternal home .
6. Thus with the concentration of soul at the higher centre, the physical body gets detached from the materialistic world. This can be compared with the phrase ‘Death during living state’.
7. At the end of meditation, the body organs regain their consciousness and the soul returns to the physical  body.
8. Never disclose God Words to anyone else because initiated words carry the blessing of the master.
9. Do not share the experiences of divine achievements of meditation with anyone.
