Meditation: Its Frequency and Length. {110.}

****
Radhasoami!

Now, this is a very sensitive
and tricky matter pertaining to meditation.

How frequently should one meditate?

Once a month would be laughable.

Once a day has been mandated
by one of our Revered Leaders.

Maalik has Made it the norm
for half an hour of meditation
before Satsang both
in the morning and evening.

However, I am referring to
private meditation in one's room.

Well, once a day is the very least
that one ought to meditate regularly.

How long should one meditate?

Any length that one
feels inspired to do,
and is comfortable with.

It could be 15 minutes
to an hour, or more.

A single very long stretch of meditation
is better, more evolving, rewarding,
than many short meditation snatches.

Meditation is a frame of mind,
a proximity to God,
that does not necessarily require
privacy or one's eyes closed.
However, that’s for evolved souls.

Initially, one ought to
sit in meditation regularly
for brief time spells.

This is merely training the body,
the vessel, carrier of one’s soul.

Once the body gets
habituated to this discipline,
genuine spiritual play begins.

Next, the mind is
to be gradually tamed and conquered.

Finally, Grace tugs the soul.
It’s then: Over to God!

Radhasoami!
