| Meditation
means a continuous dehypnotizing from identification with
body, mind, and name and from. It must start in everyday life.
If you cannot be detached from the day-to-day activities,
it will be difficult to enter into meditation. In order to
sit for meditation, the mind must be detached and withdrawn
from day to day concerns. The means for achieving this is
Karma Yoga, or selfless service. It is the fundamental step
on which meditation is built; no meditation is possible without
it. |

A true Karma
Yogi is continuously meditating. Whether working in the kitchen,
worshipping in the temple, or mowing the lawn, the Karma Yogi
knows that he is different from the work, and that the work
is only a way of achieving the Supreme. |
As the detachment increases, it becomes easier and easier
to disassociate from activities. Then, when the eyes are closed,
the mind will remain unperturbed; it has been trained to focus
inwardly at all times. Others may see a Karma Yogi and think
he is just another person working; they will not know the
secret of his inner peace.Detachment from action does not
mean shirking responsibilities. A haphazard life is not yogic,
for it engenders no steadiness of mind. When a yogi takes
on a job, he finishes it. His mind does not waver; that is
the secret of his success. If he assumes a responsibility,
his mind is focused steadily on it until completion. The average
person does a little here and there, keeping several projects
going and finishing nothing. There is no meditative state
of mind. A person who meditation can turn out more work in
less time. He has peace within. His actions are all on a pure
level, and those who come in contact with him are uplifted.
