Passage 7

In English

Meditation On God Is True Meditation

There are nine paths of devotion: (listening), (singing), (contemplating on ), (serving His Lotus Feet), (salutation), (worship), (servitude), (friendship), (self-surrender). But it is enough if you follow any one of these paths earnestly. Whatever path one may choose, God is one only. We see many people talking about meditation. What is really meant by meditation? In fact, anything you do from dawn to dusk is a process of meditation. To read a book, you need concentration, concentration is needed to eat food, and you need to apply concentration while driving a vehicle. Meditation is very similar to this analogy. So, walking, talking, eating, reading, writing, driving – everything is a sort of meditation. But when you meditate on God, that is Divine meditation. However, if you allow your thoughts to go towards worldly matters while meditating on God, it amounts to mixed meditation. This must be curbed consciously.
