Swami Vivekananda’s Quotes On Meditation🔻

✅The Method of Meditation (Bhagavad Gita Verses 11-32)🔻
In a clean spot, a firm seat should be made, neither too high nor too low, and it should be covered by cloth, skin, and holy grass one over the other. There, being seated, having made the mind one-pointed, controlling the actions of the mind and the senses, let him practice Dhyana Yoga for self-purification. (6.11-6.12)
Let him firmly hold the body, head and neck erect, and gazing on the tip of his nose, without looking around, let him sit, serene and fearless, established in the vow of celibacy, self-controlled and balanced, thinking of Me as the Supreme goal. (6.13-6.14)
Thus the self-controlled Yogi holding the mind in meditation on the Self, attains peace abiding in me which culminates in the highest bliss of liberation. (6.15)
O Arjuna! Verily, yoga is not for one who eats too much or who does not eat at all, nor for him who sleeps too much or who does not sleep at all. (6.16)
For him who is moderate in food and recreation, moderate in exertion in all actions, moderate in sleep and wakefulness, yoga destroys all pain and suffering (caused by birth and death). (6.17)
When the perfectly controlled mind rests in the Self free from longing for all enjoyments, then one is said to have attained yoga. (6.18)
Just as a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so the disciplined mind of a yogi remains steady in meditation on the self. (6.19)
Where the mind rests restrained by the practice of yoga, and where the self seeing the Self is delighted in the Self; and where established, the yogi knows that bliss which transcends the senses, which is understandable by the purified intellect only, and from the experience of Self does not even move; possessing which, he does not think any other gain greater than that; in which established he is not shaken even by great sorrow; that should be known by the term yoga, and that yoga which is free from sorrow should be attained by the undesponding and determined mind. (6.20-6.23)
Having abandoned all desires born of the ego-centric will, having restrained the group of senses with mind from all sides, one should attain quietude slowly and slowly by the intellect held firmly. And then, fixing the mind in Atma, he should not think of anything else at all. (6.24-6.25)
Whenever and wherever the restless and unsteady mind wanders, one should bring it back and continually focus it on God. (6.26)
Supreme Bliss comes to the yogi whose mind is completely tranquil and whose passions are quieted, who is free from stain and who has become one with Brahman. (6.27)
Thus the yogi free from evil, practising yoga (union with Atma) always, attains easily the highest bliss resulting from contact with Brahman. (6.28)
The sage harmonised in yoga sees the Self in all beings, and all beings in the Self; he sees the same everywhere. (6.29)
He who sees Me in all beings and all beings in me never becomes lost to me, nor do I become lost to him. (6.30)
The Yogi who worships Me abiding in all beings and who is established in unity abides in me in whatever manner he is acting. (6.31)
He who judges pleasure or pain everywhere, by the same standard as he applies to himself, that yogi is thought to be the highest. (6.32)

Thank you Mataji for bringing out the essence of Dhyana Yog (Chapter 6) with such clarity citing slokas for every act of meditation. This is a guide and listening to this is itself meditative and rejuvenating. Pranams

[@elegantcreations1669]

Thankyou so much My personal experience is that we have to lead a meditative life and raise our level of awareness through Bhakti karma gyana and dhyana. We need swadhyaya ie study of scriptural text. The state of meditation can come after that.
