no knee pain meditation no stomach pain meditation on God only so balance in both number seven yes what
I told you earlier when you enter the hall we come to the presence of God sit down for meditation
I am God not I as father and worried about son and daughter, not
I as a mother, not I as husband-wife I as corporate the executive will I be laid off what will my boss think of me what about the deadline no
I am NOT coming to God as a corporate executive as father mother son not as a person who's what is happening to the stock price on Wall Street no everything like the shoes you cast up before entering the temple you can stop all identities somebody pointed out a busy attention

so much responsibility huge New York just outside New York and Queens you have huge graveyard cemetery those were among the busiest people in the world now look at them think you are like that nothing in the world depends on you nothing in the world depends on us don't worry when you're taking care in you're trying to catch hold of God that's when the mind plays tricks we have got

so many other responsibilities yes only mind things about responsibilities only when you ask you to think about God other times no

so feel completely detached from all the roles of you live I approached God with our a show kanji says beautifully approach God with the sense of eternity look back upon your life these this day in your life no matter what the tension what the fear 20 years later or 40 years later when you look back upon this day in your life it will be a small thing some memory mostly will forget then why give importance to it now Mothma gandhi you see in in the most intense moments of political struggle great tension with all the other leaders Nehru or others are in tension what is going to happen for the freedom struggle, he is his regular about his meditation about his prayer

I read something very nice Martin Luther, not Martin Luther King Martin Luther Department of the Protestant movement very nice thing is written that every day I spent an hour I spend an hour on my knees praying to God and when I have no time at all too much work I spent two hours on my knees praying to God

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 8) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

so come to God with a feeling of eternity detach from everything only I and now my Lord and nothing else and that is the truth all the others like a cloud every day in the night when you go to sleep where our responsibilities vary father mother husband wife children where is the top price nothing it all disappears any guarantee that we will wake up tomorrow no guarantee no God okay then number eight he says yearning for God very important do
I want it this is, unfortunately, he will scratch our head to say yes I wanted but not enough stimulate this Swami Ashok Ramsey says simulated suppose
I wanted it to imagine the intense desire of ceramic Krishna for seeing divine mother Kali the intense seeking of Vivekananda,
I must see God all the lives of the great Saints one the thing they had in common men and women ancient medieval modern one the thing they had in common this intense the desire for God is a hunger for God

so to some extent simulated it will come if you have that everything else is okay everything will fall in place because if you have the desire everything as we do whatever we want us actually arrange everything accordingly and tries to get that it's only when we do not want then a lot of techniques methods books all are necessary Sri Ramakrishna says to the man who is very thirsty even water in a puddle on the ground he'll remove the scum on the top and try to drink that water on the puddle in the ground very thirsty and person was not thirsty never even think of that water my god not thirsty then you require what Polar Poland Spring Water what is there yes Nestle Pure Life from the Swiss Alps yes otherwise it will not do or something else is their smart water is not smart really smart or intelligent water or smart water
so not thirsty in Vedanta they speak about

so many qualifications Vivek average discernment dispassion for worldliness you read all that you will feel no ID it's not for me but it's for everybody actually Ramana Maharshi that's nice story is there somebody went and said am I qualified for Vedanta am I qualified for
so many qualifications necessary am I qualified for Vedanta and Ramana mercy no he's going I he said did you say
I then you're qualified if you say I and that's something that every one of us says then you qualify do you are qualified to ask Who am I if you say are you are qualified to ask Who am I

so yearning for God we are all qualified to realize God we the more we move towards it the more yearning will increase then number nine have power throughout the day this is important don't jump into meditation this is not translatable into English with some of the Swami's in them in the monastery they sit down we'll put the cloth around them sit for meditation and they have a rosary prayer bead immediately you can hear the rattling sound rattling very fast rate or ever doing
