I must begin my life
Once again
By dreaming the impossible.

Individualised Meditation

In the ordinary life if ten students come to the same class in school, the teacher gives them all the same lesson. But in the case of a spiritual Master it is different. When he meditates on his disciples, the consciousness that he gives to one will not be the same as what he gives to another.

When I meditate on my disciples, I motivate and inspire each individual according to his acceptance of me and according to his capacity to receive and manifest the light that I am offering him. Out of God's infinite bounty I have the capacity to enter into each person's consciousness and soul to see what that particular individual needs most, and how he wants to manifest the divinity within himself. One individual's soul may want to realise and manifest the truth through divine power. Another individual may want to realise God through love, devotion and surrender. So first I see what the soul wants, and then I can tell the person inwardly, "You follow this method." I may not tell him outwardly, but inwardly I say, "This is the way you have to realise and manifest the truth." Then the soul may take a day, a week or a few months to convince the rest of the being how to meditate. The mind may not understand, but for meditation the mind is not at all necessary.

From time to time I may outwardly tell an individual how to meditate. But the meditation that I give is given in strictest confidence, and it is meant only for that particular individual. If he tells others and they try to use the same method, that will be a serious mistake.

Each person must go his own way during meditation because each has a particular role, a special mission on earth, to fulfil. In God's divine Play, each one has been allotted a particular part, and to perform that part one has to meditate according to one's own inner necessity.

If you feel that you are inwardly drawn to me but you have not received an individual meditation, do not worry. The best type of meditation comes when you enter into my consciousness by looking at a picture taken of me when I am in a high meditative consciousness. While meditating on my picture you do not have to think of anything. Just try to throw your outer and inner existence into my consciousness with utmost aspiration. If a thought comes to you, whether good or bad, just throw it into my picture. Each time a thought strikes your mind, feel that it is an attack, and let me have the attack. Do not encourage any thought whatsoever. In this way you can keep your inner vessel absolutely empty. If you empty yourself and give me all your thoughts and undivine qualities, then I can fill you with peace, light and bliss.
