Effortlessness (Meditation Technique)

So you don't have to put in any effort, this is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to God's Grace. Now the Grace itself knows how to cure you... it knows how to mend you... how to settle down itself into your own being... keep your spirit kindled... it knows everything. So you don't have to worry as to what you have to do, or what name you have to take... what mantras you have to do. In meditation you have to be absolutely effortless. Expose yourself fully... and you have to be absolutely thoughtless at that time. 

Supposing... possibility, you may not be thoughtless... at that time you have to just watch your thoughts, but don't get involved into them. You will find gradually as the Sun rises the darkness goes away, and the Sun's rays go into every crevice and every part and makes the whole place lighted. 
In the same way your being will be completely lighted but if you put in an effort at that time, or try to stop something within you, or try to give it a bandhan, it will not. Effortlessness is the only way to meditation. But you should not be lethargic about it... you should be alert and watch it .

SHIV TATTWA

"Now I would say, to understand the detachment of Spirit we should study ourselves very well, clearly - "How are we attached?" We are attached, firstly, by our brain. Mostly by our brain. Because all our conditionings are in our brain and all of our ego is also in our brain. So emotional attachments are through our brain and all our conditionings are in our brain and all of our ego is also in our brain. So emotional attachments are through our brain and all our egoistical attachments also are through our brain. That's why it is said that after Realization one must try to practice the Shiva –Tattwa by practising detachment."

Because Shiva is nothing but love. He's love that corrects, that nourishes, that wants your benevolence. That's what Shiva is. It wants your benevolence. It looks after you benevolence. So when you are looking after the benevolence of others with love, then the whole life changes, the whole pattern changes, and you really enjoy it because you become one with so many, concerned with so many families, so many things, so many problems of others. You just feel you are one with so many.
