This is part two of the adventures in Advaita Vedanta... will you travel with me a while?


Meditative Monday

Hari OM

Gurudev's words here point to relaxation within in order to improve our meditative quality...

"Take your time, or time will take you and drain away your strengths. Take a minute, maybe two, throughout your busy day for slowing down to meditate on something beyond the worldly problems and things. Find a quiet place and wait with a receptive heart. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Why the worry? What is the hurry? Take your time and roam — picking from the wayside fields that which heals your within. Take some time to walk on grass, to look at flowers, to admire the trees, wondering and pondering upon the wonders stretched around you, up to the horizon! ⠀⁠

Slacken your pace just so that you may see the view. Take your time, or time takes you. Employ time, or else time will employ you; in the former, you are the master of time; with the latter, you are a slave of time, your employer.⠀"

- Swami Chinmayananda
