All training in spiritual life begins with the attitude of manliness; not hanging on to an external God or deities for everything, like the baby hanging on to its mother all the time. Such a baby will ever remain only a baby. It won't grow. Similarly, the spiritual baby also can grow only when it understands this great message of self-reliance - Atma Sraddha .

Just remain silent near the flower. Look at it, be in deep sympathy with it, in a deep communion with it. Forget yourself. Just be a passive awareness there, and the flower will flower into THAT. The THAT will be revealed.
So go on discovering THAT. That is what is meant by constant contemplation. And constant contemplation of THAT is meditation.

A temple is not a place for bargaining, it is a place for rest and relaxation, where tired and exhausted from all your worldly activities, you can find relief and peace. There are no conditions for entering a temple: that you can only come if you have this much of money; that you can only come if you have this much knowledge ; or you can only come if you have this much prestige - a temple accepts you as you are. It is a place so simple that you are accepted as you are.

The mind goes on dividing on every level of being. Whenever the mind looks, immediately it divides; division, to divide, is the nature of the mind..... So
we say above and below
we say up and down
we say this world and that world
we say life and death
we say in and out
we say extroversion and introversion ........
but all these divisions are of the MIND.

In religion, utility was the test to verify a Truth.
The mantra ' AUM ' has no meaning but it has a utility; a temple has no meaning but it has a utility. To make use of it is an art, and there is an inherent flow in all art which cannot be taught, but must be absorbed.
Science can be taught but Art has to be imbibed.
