Page 23 - Three Truths and Trillion Doubts

MORNING MEDITATION
1. Why is it necessary to proceed with meditation at the first stage of Raja Yoga?
It is quite plain and simple. We are now gathering ourselves at one point so that our individual mind may leave its habit of wandering about, which it has formed. It is now metamorphosing its habit. Meditation is the foundation of spirituality.
2. Meditation is passive. You do nothing. How can it give results?
We meditate on the heart supposing Divine Light to be there. It means you are playing on your own heart, which is itself a sport and a work. You know you are meditating; that means doing something; and the place on which you work, the heart, is also there. And you have to reach your goal; this idea is also there, and you wait for some thing subconsciously. That means you are not inert but so busy that you are doing three things at the same time. So passivity is lost in activity.
3. What about light? Should we see light?
It is a mere supposition that light is there in the heart. It is a suggestion.
