There is nothing like a holy place or a special time
for the contemplation of the Omnipresent Lord. Wherever
the mind revels in the contemplation of the divine,
that is the Holy Place! Whenever it does so, that is the
auspicious moment! There and then, one must meditate on
the Lord. For meditation on God, there is no fixed time
or place. When and where the mind so desires, then and
there, is the time and place. The meditation on any one
of His countless names will act as the goad that can
tame the elephant in rut and make him bend his knees and
lift the log on his tusks. Real meditation is getting
absorbed in God as the only thought, the only goal.
God only, only God. Think God, breathe God, love God,
live God.
-Baba
