dharana level. This has not moved to the dhyana level. Please understand the difference.
When we go to the dhyana level, we are trying to know what we don’t know. We start with a surmise, we don’t know what we are. I don’t have to count numbers, I don’t have any japa to say, any mantra to say. All that I know is, I just don’t know myself. If you feel that helpless situation you are fit for a mature meditation. If you feel competent, please note that you will not be in a position to move on to the finer aspects of meditation. Meditation demands that you do nothing and just nothing. If you do something, you are in the field of dharana i.e concentration. So this system that we are talking about with no strings attached is something connected with meditation per se. We are talking only about meditation, allow your thoughts to go wherever they want. Don’t bother about them, don’t give even an attention to it as some systems ask you to give attention but if they leave an impression, at the end of the meditation please do record it. Don’t try to make a note of what you are going through in your meditation but at the end of the meditation please note what the remaining thoughts are and what you feel about it. That is only for the purpose of diary writing
So the meditation proper is not to meditate on any object. So what is the thought that we can give you for that? You require something to work on. So we suggest that you meditate on the divine light in the heart. Divine Light is a meaningless word for us because we have not seen such light. We know only solar light, we know this fluorescent light. What is that divine light? We really don’t know, so, fairly a meaningless word, divine light, is what is given to you and lest you try to bring in some luminosity here, we say without luminosity i.e. you are given an impossible task, just to make you understand that you are helpless to know Divinity and Divinity alone should reveal itself to you.
The method of meditation here is you feel your helplessness and many of the abhyasis write this, ‘I am not able to feel the divine light’. You will not because there is no such thing. If there is some such thing I can understand that you can say ‘I have seen this’. So, Divine light is something which you will never see and that is what we want you to understand but at a particular stage you will come to know that a particular effulgence that is there inside you has neither a luminosity nor a light but effulgence is there, you feel that. Feeling is the language of God, you feel that as
