On What Should We Meditate?

Before we devise a process, it’s important to understand the goal. Like at the gym, we use certain machines for the results we want. Meditation is an unfolding. We must still the ruckus whether we use breath, mantra, and image or a candle flame, we need to start. Whatever technique we use, it’s a method to get us somewhere. Don’t confuse the purpose with the means. Sadhviji then tells a story about men using a canoe in order to save their lives and then carrying the canoe when it’s no longer useful. She explains that we don’t need to hold onto the tools once we’ve made the Divine connection.
