THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The mind plans and executes innumerable deeds and roams over vast expanses, all in the twinkling of an eye! It operates with unimaginable speed. However, while meditating, the mind should not be allowed to wander away from the object of meditation. Whenever it flies off at a tangent, it must be led back to the form meditated upon. Only one form has to be meditated upon in the beginning. You should not change daily from one to another. To concentrate effectively, you must be careful not to have as the object something your mind does not like, for however hard you may try, your mind will not stay focused on it. Therefore, in the beginning, have some object that is a source of joy. Again, during the spiritual practice, you should not indulge in thoughts about things you do not like, that cause pain, or that shake your faith. If any such thoughts come, learn gradually to welcome them as beneficial and seek to grasp the good in them, instead of the bad. - BABA
