Moka meditation helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of old skin. Positive thoughts, negative thoughts — all the thoughts arise from the mind. The divine spiritual masters have gone beyond the mind. The yogi always remains in a state of no-mind. Nobody can appease him and nobody can displease him, because there is absolutely no mind.
Once it happened, there was a young man and he met an old lady. The old lady belonged to a positive-ist group that was very prominent 50 years ago in the US. They called themselves the Christian Scientists. They believed there is no negative, everything is divine, there is nothing wrong, everything is right. They forgot completely that if there is nothing wrong, how are you going to define the right? If there is nothing negative, how are you going to define the positive? If there is no darkness, how are you going to define the light? But certain people found it to be a very interesting philosophy.
The old woman asked the young man, “I have not seen your father coming to our weekly meetings.” The young man said, “He is very sick.” The old woman said, “All nonsense! He has forgotten our philosophy. Sickness is your imagination. Just go home and tell him sickness is your imagination. There is no sickness, no death, nothing wrong in the world. It is God who created the world, how can there be wrong?” The young man said, “I will convey your message.”
Three weeks passed, and the old man did not turn up again. The woman encountered the young boy and asked him, “Did you convey my message?” He said, “I did.” The old woman said, “But he has not turned up to the meeting.” The young man said, “I’m sorry to tell you that now he imagines he is dead.”
The mind creates the web of negative thoughts just like the spider. And the same mind, when it is influenced or impacted by positive thoughts, it removes the web just the way the spider does. This exercise of the mind continues, but it is all limited to the mind. You haven’t really moved beyond mind. The “be positive” theory is also limited to the mind. Nobody has asked Buddha to be positive. Nobody has asked Jesus to be positive. The divine masters have gone beyond the mind. Now there is neither positivity nor negativity. All that remains is consciousness. And that is the state of a yogi — the highest state of meditation where you are no more meditating, you are meditation.
The philosophy of positive thinking means being untruthful. It means being dishonest. It means seeing a certain thing and yet denying what you have seen. It means deceiving yourself and others.
Once it happened, a king would always see a young man meditating beneath a tree. One night, secretly, the king moved out of his palace and went to see the young man. And the young man was found meditating beneath the same tree. The king could not control his curiosity. He stepped ahead and said, “Who are you? You seem to be a someone special person. Else how can you remain for days and nights beneath this tree?”
The young man opened his eyes. There was so much glow, so much love, so much compassion in his eyes that the king’s heart was moved with deep faith. The king bowed before the young man and said, “I am sorry to disturb you. I can see that you were meditating.” And the young man said, “I am not meditating. I am meditation.”
How deep are these words! That is how you should be. Not that you sit for a while and meditate, but your whole life should become a meditation. Then there is a song to it, then there is every possibility for you to experience the beyond, the bliss, and the peace you have been longing for.
Your meditation should become your breath. Then no matter where you are, which place you are, what you are doing, you remain rooted within. And that is the first step towards experiencing the state of no-mind. Once you are rooted in your center, nothing from outside can move you.
The need is to first get rooted within yourself. The need of the hour is that you should turn inwards and start meditating. And when you meditate, meditate with focus on your heart, meditate with total devotion towards the Lord. Meditate every time.
Jai Shree Ganesha. Jai Guru.
