Q. When our meditation is not deep and the mind is restless, what is the right attitude to have?

A. Daya Ma said that if you are meditating regularly but not experiencing increasing concentration and depth in your meditations, look to your activities and to your state of mind in your daily life. Your state of mind during this time can compromise the effects of your meditations. Things like restlessness or engaging in negative thinking can almost cancel out the efforts you are making in meditation. Look at your actions, your motives, your self-control or lack of it. That’s where many people say, “Oh, this is too much for me,” and they leave the path. Master asks a lot of us. Practice calmness in your daily life.

Watch your emotional reactions so that you can control them before they control you. Watch how certain people press your buttons. Watch yourself to see how you react, and by paying close attention to this you can gain control over it. Ask yourself, “What aspects of my daily life are a challenge for me?” You will then be able to identify them, and then you can ask the Guru to help you: “Show me how to gain control over this.” There may be any number of situations or people who destroy our peace, but if we make this quantum step then it won’t bother you anymore.

Do hard things intentionally

Do hard things intentionally. Confidence grows when you prove to yourself that you can handle discomfort. It doesn’t have to be big - like taking the first step toward a goal, or trying something new.

Each time you push through resistance, you reinforce the belief that you are capable, even when things feel uncomfortable.

These small victories compound over time, creating a resilient mindset that carries into every area of your life. When you consistently choose growth over comfort, you build an unshakeable foundation of self-trust.

Eventually, what once felt impossible becomes simply another challenge you know you can face..

The best form of worship is to love all creatures. If you can’t love the person in front of you, how can you love the unmanifest divine?

The Self is distinct from the body, the senses, the mind, and the intellect. It is the witness of their activities.
