| As a spiritual aspirant (sadhaka), you must first learn the secret of ‘inward vision’, and take your attention away from the exterior world. Divine life is nothing but this method of ‘inward living’. Just as the baby after learning to watch and understandtries to toddle hither and thither at home, so also the spiritual aspirant slowly learns to navigate and understand the inner world. A healthy baby in the cradle, watching the lamp on the wall, waves its arms and legs in glee, and lisps in joy. Likewise the spiritual aspirant, healt hy in body, mind and soul, lying in the cradle of life, watches the interior world and claps his/her hands ceaselessly in great delight on experiencing that inner joy. -Dhyana Vahini, Chap 3, "The Goal of Meditation" |
