Morning Meditation

* In the morning get up, have your bath, sit down, take some tea: don't talk.

* Don't talk in the morning, sit down, meditate - because at that time the Divine rays come in, the Sun comes afterwards.

That's how the birds get up. They're all awakened by that, and if you are sensitive you will feel that by getting up in the morning you will look at least ten years younger. Really, it's such a good thing to get up in the morning and then, automatically you sleep early. This is for getting up, for sleeping I need not tell because that you'll manage yourself. Then, in the morning time you should just meditate.

In meditation try to stop your thoughts.

Watch my photograph with open eyes and see that you stop your thoughts. You should stop your thoughts, then you go into meditation.

The simple thing to stop your thoughts is the Lord's Prayer, because that is the Agnya state. So in the morning you remember Lord's Prayer or Ganesha's mantra. It is just the same. Or you even say "I forgive".

So you can start with Ganesha's mantra, say Lord's Prayer and then say "I forgive". It works out. Then you are in thoughtless awareness. Now you meditate.

Before that there's no meditation. When thoughts are coming or "I have to take tea", "what shall I do", "now what have I to do", "who's this and who's that", all this will be there. So first you become thoughtlessly aware, then the growth of spirituality starts after thoughtless awareness, not before. One should know that. On rational plane you cannot grow in Sahaja Yoga. So first thing is to establish your thoughtless awareness; still you might feel little chakra blockages here or there; forget it. Just forget about it.

* The Lords Prayer to Open the Agnya Chakra. This prayer is from Christianity.
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory for ever and ever.

Amen.

* Mantra to Shri Ganesha to Awaken Mooladhara chakra. This prayer is from Hinduism.
