Meditation
Vachanamrut
- "For instance, the skin of a tamarind seed tightly adheres to the seed. Yet, when the seed is roasted over a fire, the skin chars and loosens. It can then be effortlessly peeled away by rubbing the seed between one's hands. Similarly, through the practice of meditation and receiving divine teachings, the karan body separates from the jiva as easily as the charred skin of a roasted tamarind seed. However, even after attempting countless other methods, one cannot eliminate the jiva's ignorance embodied in the karan form." (Karyani 12th)
- "Those who meditate upon the human form of that God behold the radiant, divine form seated in Akshardham. Such individuals, who meditate in this way, transcend illusion (maya) and achieve the pinnacle of enlightenment." (Gadhada Middle 13th).
- "The antahkaran can be controlled by contemplating the greatness of God, by meditating on God, and by realizing oneself as the soul." (Loya 5th)
- “When one meditates on the form of God, it is not at all difficult to attain realization. Conversely, no one should even hope of realizing or seeing the soul by merely contemplating upon it without meditating on God.”(Gadhada Middle 35th)
- “I believe that it is impossible to see the soul and Brahma without the upasana and meditation of God’s form. Only through upasana can the soul and Brahma be seen; without it, they cannot be seen.” (Gadhada Last 36th)
