| Q: |
Baba says, ‘If
you seek God outside, you will not find Him.
Seek Him within and you will comprehend the
Divinity’. But we are not able to focus our
wavering mind on God; we get very easily
distracted.

Initially,
the mind focuses on what it deems to be its own priorities
rather than listen to your inner wisdom. You lose focus
because the mind disturbs you with a thought that seems
more important to it. Try to identify those thoughts -
- whether it is about your family or office or the world
at large. Do not try to run away from that thought.
Just witness it, allowing the mind to run its own course.
How long can you keep harbouring a thought? The mind will
soon get tired of its chase and become serene like the
calm after a storm.
Every thought has a definite time limit and it does not
linger beyond that time. All that you have to do is to
continue watching it, till it dies naturally. Then you
will get the inner focus on whatever form you want
because that is the only thing left.
Just like when you eat
the various delicacies on your plate, when you come to
the last piece, it is only that which remains, so too,
when you have finished with all your thoughts, what is
left is the wisdom of God. But this process cannot come
by force, it has to happen naturally. And then
you will travel beyond
thoughts, beyond thinking of God too. That is the true
state of bliss.
Even the thought of God
is subject to limitation. It means your mind is not
totally tamed.
Do
not be restless to go that stage. Just allow things to
take their own shape. There is nothing else to do.
Nothing rests on your plans. All plans are ordained by
God on the basis of your deeds in your previous births.
Leave them to themselves. Do not expect the results
immediately, and if you are wise enough, do not expect
any results. It is only then you will see them happen.
