Papa---  repeat the Name incessantly and give up attachment to worldly things.....your mind will easily go within if you see God in everybody...whatever you do is done by God’s Power...

Papa---Ramdas did not practice meditation.....

What is meditation? ...we can say it is concentration, contemplation, effort to watch the mind, doing anything consciously when ‘I am’ not there...

JK---meditation is a great art which one cannot teach another. When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, talk, eat,watch your jealousy, ...if you are aware of all that is in yourself without any choice , then it is meditation...MEDITATION CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE IN THE BUS, WHILE DOING ANYTHING, EVEN WHILE LOOKING AT THE FACE OF YOUR WIFE OR CHILD...meditation is to be AWARE WITHOUT ANY CHOICE...

CHOICE MEANS THOUGHT HAS COME

Anandamayi Maa—If you want God, you must accept everything as it is without any choosing one thing rather than the other..

WATHCING IS GOING ON ALWAYS....WE ARE NOT AWARE....WE HAVE TO BECOME AWARE...
MEDITATION IS A PROCESS TO BE EVOLVED BY ONE BASED UPON ONE’S TEMPERAMENT...
PAPA—OBJECT OF REPETITION OF THE NAME IS TO ELIMINATE THE MIND ...THEN YOU REALISE YOU ARE GOD...
Papa was aware of the Power of the Mantra...we are not aware....
PAPA---CEASELESS REPEATITION OF GOD’S NAME COUPLED WITH DWELLING ON THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD..
If we do not know the background of Papa’s sadhana, we will get misled...he had no craving, there was self-denial, abhyasa and vairagya was at its zenith, individual requirement was reduced to the minimum, maximum time was used for contemplation , dwelling on God’s attributes..

So, according to Papa, dwelling on the attributes of God was meditation...

PAPA---WHENEVER FREE FROM WORLDLY DUTIES, BE THE PERIOD EVER SO SMALL, RAMDAS WOULD MEDITATE ON RAM AND CHANT HIS NAME...

ATTRIBUTES
You are seated within me
You are making me repeat the Name
You are all pervading
You have manifested as all
You are omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent

Meditation is a word for which each one can give an interpretation...Papa says it is the elimination of the mind...it is AWARENESS...AND NOT AWARE OF .....

Papa---you must be established in Pure Self-awareness by your own sadhana....though the Guru may awaken you and turn your mind towards God...It is not good holding on to the form of the Guru all the time...

Papa---God does not need an intermediary. Switch on the wire for direct communion...why do you deny Him in your own heart...

External worship is relevant up to a point. Our mind is used to concentrate on an object...So initially we concentrate on the form of the Guru. 

Though God is everywhere , we get peace only during meditation because , we are filled with me and mine .....That is why we are asked to accept everything as it is without choosing certain things...During meditation , for some time, the me and mine takes a backseat...as soon as me and mine comes, Peace gets covered ...It IS there...but gets covered...

We follow others mechanically and are there where we are...
