We need to go deeper7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() If you spend two hours in meditation, then out of those two hours perhaps you can meditate well for only five minutes. ![]() If your mind is roaming all the time, you can spend hours and hours in meditation but you will make no progress. ![]() Why can't I meditate at least three times a day? And if I spend an hour for my luncheon and an hour for my dinner, then can I not also spend at least two hours in meditation?" But here we have to know that meditation is not like eating earthly food. What is wrong with me? I eat three times a day. You may meditate once a day or once a week or once a month or you may say, "No, I wish to meditate three times a day. You have accepted the spiritual life and you want to make progress. It is only a matter of regular daily practice. As you go deep within the earth with outer implements when you dig for water, so also with aspiration you can dig deep within yourself in order to get Nectar, which is Immortality. Aspiration is the only tool, the only instrument, with which to dig the barren soil within you. The higher your aspiration goes, the deeper inward the magnet pulls you. But in this case the digging implement is your aspiration. So if you want to dig deep within yourself, if you want to get Immortality-Nectar, then you also have to dig regularly in the same way. In this way you will work every day and make a little progress. The next day you will dig again, and the day after you will do the same. Then you start digging and continue until you are tired. Question: Guru, how can we go deeper and deeper within so we can go beyond the surface mind? Sri Chinmoy: If you want to dig a well today, first you have to find an instrument to dig with. ![]()
