| Rid
the Mind of Diseases

We
cannot meditate because of the diseases of the mind. These diseases
are attraction and aversion, attachment and hate, anger and greed.
For meditation you need a very healthy mind.
We have to get rid
of these diseases of the mind. How can we meditate when our mind is
diseased? While meditating you have to be very alert, vigilant and
watchful so that for a little time during meditation these diseases
don't show up. In the beginning they may trouble you, they may rise
up, but gradually they will go on vanishing. When they have vanished
you will enjoy meditation while sitting, while walking, while talking,
and at work. Then meditation will become your nature - will be spontaneous
without any effort of sitting meditations.
There you will see
your own Self which doesn't need any meditation. You will be one with
the Heart - the mind will merge into the heart and heart into the
Self, and Self is always free. The Self is always wisdom, light and
freedom itself. You have to be careful while meditating that these
notions of attachment, hatred, greed and lust do not touch you.
