Logic Of Meditation-Part III

Meditation is a contemplative flight. Contemplation is not a mere intellection or a sheer emotional sentimentalism. We can say that contemplative flight is sustained only when we come to spread in full both our head and heart as wings to keep our balance during this inward pilgrimage. It is necessary, therefore, that we must have the confidence in a Protecting Power that guides, wields, and sustains our subtle efforts in this unknown field. Therefore, every seeker is advised first to invoke the blessings of the Lord of his heart.

Your Prophet, your Lord, or your guru can be the deity of your mental worship. It is not at all of importance what form symbolises our concept of the Higher. There is absolute freedom for you to conceive and consider the Supreme through any symbolism. And, symbolism cannot be avoided, as, at this moment of our development, we are still living in the plane of the mind. The mind cannot conceive the formless and the infinite. (More)
