person. But as we practice, clarity emerges which is an aspect of growth.
Expectancy of experiences during meditation: Another confusion that keeps us occupied is that, are we going to feel different with varied experiences each grander than the previous as progress through various spheres and regions described by the Master, the unexciting truth is that as we keep practicing the methods, we go on feeling more and more balance of heart and mind, with the result that we find our thoughts keep on getting refined. Master gives us a hint, “...if by the Master's grace we have come up to it, another theme opens for us. We are in a way merged into it in order to bring to our view the aspects higher than this. The word `Higher' refers only to a rarefied state of it and in the same sense it is applied to the spiritual regions and spheres noted down in this connection...” SHOWERS OF DIVINE GRACE Efficacy of Rajayoga. I really cannot explain the term refinement of thoughts but this much I can say that words and sentences are not thoughts. The same words cast finer impressions in the heart than it used to be previously. Once we get accustomed to this kind of refinement, one usually does not like to engage in flippancy and sometimes the reaction to heavy and gross thoughts is quite intense. The other person feels offended but the truth is one cannot tolerate gross expressions of thoughts even if they are about the path, that is the reason why the books written by the Master are beyond the grasp of the heart though we feel that we have understood through the mind. So let us not get confused with the understanding that we get from the Master’s work as on date as final, always put the question what is my heart telling in this matter.
