D.: I have been doing sadhana for nearly 20 years and I can see no progress. What should I do ?Sri Bhagavan : I may be able to say something if I know what the sadhana is.
D.: From about 5 o'clock every morning, I concentrate on the thought that the SELF alone is Real and all else unreal. Although I have been doing this for about 20 years, I cannot concentrate for more than two or three minutes without my thoughts wandering.
Sri Bhagavan : There is no other way to succeed than to draw the mind back every time it turns outwards and fix it in the SELF. There is no need for meditation or mantra or japa or dhyana or anything of the sort, because these are our real nature. All that is needed is to give up thinking of objects other than the SELF. Meditation is not so much thinking of the SELF as giving up thinking of the not-Self. When you give up thinking of outward objects and prevent your mind from going outwards and turn it inward and fix it in the SELF, the SELF alone will remain.
