RESTORING OUR BALANCE
we feel very simply the most fundamental and basic state of our being. This is really the ‘ground’ of our being. It is then we can say we are in the state we seek for in the fourth part of our prayer “Thou are the only God and Power to being us up to that stage”.
The logic behind this is the power of thought. Thought has divine origin and in its prestine purity is simple consciousness where awareness itself is not there. And more than anything else it has enormous power in a latent state. Master says” When one resolves to do a thing, the connecting link between the thought and the work becomes intensified, and one begins to draw power from the real source in accordance with the strength of his thought. (Reference: BWS 125)” So during our meditation if we keep the thought of the prayer imbedded in our hearts it grants us the power to be in His thought undisturbed by any alien or extraneous feelings and thoughts. One of the thoughts that disturb the abhyasis relates to the physical posture. Classic sitting is a vital part of our meditation technique. Somehow the approach that demands the aspirant to sit motionless for hours on end, as if becoming a frozen human statue is the key to enlightenment, has got deep rooted in some and this has been one of their undesirable thoughts.
