Why is it important to be steady and still? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
The
first thing you have to do is to develop self-confidence. It is such
people who have no confidence in their own self who begin to wander
about and waver, and take to various different paths. When you take your
body to different places, and when you go about moving aimlessly, the
mind also goes to different places. The first thing is to steady your
physical body. If you have a container filled with water, if the
container is continually moving, then the contents will continually be
moving. So we should not continuously move our body and our limbs in an
aimless manner; this is a very essential part of our practice of
meditation. We should sit quiet and the body should be steady. Why do we
ask people to sit straight and to sit quiet in meditation? Because when
the body is straight and quiet, the mind inside is also straight and
quiet. The first thing is to control your body by ensuring that all the
limbs and body organs are steady.
- Divine Discourse, Mar 28, 1975
