Evolution of love

Words of Ma

In the first stage to sit for meditation causes uneasiness or pain in one's limbs.

When small children start to learn reading they cannot concentrate.

How many books they destroy how many they tear to pieces and throw away.

They do not understand their value. But slowly and gradually, as they acquire fluency in reading,

it gives them joy. At first people study in the hope of becoming rich, but later they come to understand

the value of knowledge. By labouring hard, practice is acquired. With how much zeal do you learn in order

to pass your examinatio4s. Finally you become B.A's and M.A's. But here we are concerned with

Supreme Knowledge (Brahmavidya).

At first the mind does not become steady and one cannot find any delight in the repetition In the Name of God

or in meditation. The mind is concerned with bodily comforts, just as children spoil their books.

By Japa, meditation or other spiritual exercises, one's thinking has to be brought under control.

By practice, the mind becomes steady.
