helps other person, he is not doing anything, he is doing something for himself. This is the awareness with which you move. Is it something you will be in a position to live all the 24 hours of the day? Surely not. The circumstances of our family life, the circumstances of the social life, the social order does not permit it but internally you will feel all the time. You will always feel for the welfare of all others, the prayer will no more be self centered. You change, dimensions change. So this is exactly what happens to us. The result of the meditation is that you will start feeling that you are not encased. You are a free person capable of thinking well for others. Our thinking which was so far restricted to the interest of ourselves and our dear people, starts gaining a different meaning and it means the general good of humanity. So the main purpose of meditation is to feel that oneness with all, not only yourself, but oneness with all. This is one of the preliminary ambitions we should have.
Now, what exactly is the method of meditation that we adopt? We adopt the method of meditation of thinking about the Divine light without luminosity in the heart where it beats. We are aware of external things only. To go without any concept is what is aimed but still we move with the heart where it beats. There are two things here; one - the physical heart is available, you can meditate on that and where it beats - the sound also is given to you. So it not as though you are grappling in wilderness. You are given a definite object of meditation, only, the visual scene is changed. The visual aspect of it which is the most powerful aspect of it is what we want to make it null. We want to make it as a divine light without luminosity. The physicality is there, the soundness is there, the auditory impulse is given to you to meditate upon, but you are asked to meditate on divine light without luminosity because Sarvendriyanaam Nayanam Pradaanam. If we know how to control your way of seeing, you know 90 percent of the truth. It is not all that impossible to meditate as you think. The question might arise whether we should not have a form. There is no need for form because the sound is there and you will also not bother to look into that sound, you will not, as you grow we don’t require that also.
Why only heart, not on the tip of the nose or the forehead or any other place? The reason for that is, this is the place where you find activity and inactivity together. There is torpor, there is inertia and there is an activity and only when both of them are there then there is a balance. If balance is our approach, balance is already found in heart and it is balanced. If it goes out of balance you know what happens.
