them it's like a machine has been switched on not like that when you come sit quietly for some time quieten down then gently enter into meditation after you have finished then sit quietly for some time before you come back into the world take the time give time to it throughout the day have you know like the sitar music in the background like a piece of tempura music in the background done for a music like that have a connection of the divine throughout the day maybe the mantra is going on maybe prayer is going on in the mind that the advice we read Salaam Krishna gave to LA to Maharaj Jaga jo JJ get hug be when you are awake throughout your days and days to come when Salaam kiss man a man who said I am NOT when I'm not there throughout your days be awake in yoga and yoga Yoga means some connection to God you're visualizing meditating repeating the name of God and the argument service yoga they sacrifice
so throughout the day morning till night some connection is there

so when you sit down for meditation I would see one way the monks would

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 9) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

establish this connection is they would visit the temple several times throughout the day they would make it a part of their routine even in the midst of their busy schedule of course morning they will come for and then after breakfast dill come for they'll bow down to them and in the shrine and go back to their rooms when they're going for their work in the office school or somewhere on their way they'll come to the shrine and bow down in the middle of their work sometimes they'll come once and bow down just before lunch the bell is there

so some breaks in the whole day you dig that opportunity connected to God you cannot you may not have a shrine to go and bow down to but you can have a little picture which you can open and look at or touch to your head
so connect yourself to God throughout the day somehow or the other I remember this old Swami those images keep coming yeah yeah I was a young novice, as usual, a bookworm

so I'd come to the library in the main monastery I was in another institution nearby that comes the library in the main man yesterday I was reading and the library closed for evening prayers instead of going to the evening prayers

I was going back to my room to read the book and this old Swami was coming he was like perfectly round he was shot and he was maybe in his 70s or 80s I still remember very funny very loving old Swami he saw that the bell has rung and this young novice is walking the other the way

so as I passed him he caught my hand nothing I didn't even say anything he sorts of as he walked along he was very strong
so he literally dragged me after him lovingly so that I will go and sit down where is it somewhere not

so sweet I remember once another time these are the memories that you have there may be scoldings but you remember them with great love throughout your life when I was very new after the evening prayer was supposed to meditate I came down that from the temple into the library which was below the temple opened the library opened the book in those days no computers anything it opened the encyclopedias and read

so I was pulling it out preparing for my next day's classes which I would teach the students the trick of the mind you don't have to prepare in the meditation time for the classes but a senior swami, I still remember him a very tough Swami, he comes in what are you doing Swami I'm preparing for the class tomorrow even as

I said it it sounded talker falls to me avoiding meditation put it back and he stood and glared at me until I put the book back and locked the cabinet and the book cabinet and go up and meditate and he stood glaring at me like this until I saw him climb the stairs looking back at him he was at the bottom of the stairs and it'll be you'd sit in he had a very direct approach to training the youngsters

so early morning if you're meditating or sleeping suddenly at this tremendous but it's dark in the inner shrine a tremendous a burst of light I thought what already enlightenment is I was just maybe one week into becoming a monk and it's pretty fast no it is early in the morning and the Swami was holding a powerful flashlight and checking which novice was meditating and who was sleeping

I remember this is interesting discussions novice is always this a struggle to get up early in the morning and meditate
so this Swami who is the second Swami is really tough Swami he went to the head Swami who is much wiser and much more very very spiritual man he was the second Swami was very worried why are these youngsters not getting up in the morning and meditates why are they
so sleepy so he went to the senior Swami and he said if we give them sweets you know cookies in the morning will they come if you say that if you come to the temple

we give you a cookie in Bengali a nice tea delay key however, they will they come the senior saw me with an exasperated the verse he said fools let them sled the fools sleep he said his terrifying words highway to
