Today I am going to talk to you about Attention. What is Attention, what is the movement of Attention and what are the ways and methods of raising our Attention. But when I am saying all these things you must know that I am talking to you individually.
Always the first thing human beings do is, when I am speaking to you, you try to find out about whom Mataji is speaking. This is the best way of putting your Attention on to something else. If you put your Attention to yourself, – that is “for me, and me alone”, then it will have an effect.
So the Attention that you have, is the only way to know the reality. Your own Attention is important, not the Attention of others or your Attention on others. This must be clearly understood. If you understand this point that the whole is to be consumed by you through your Attention, to raise yourself to a higher situation, it will work out.
Otherwise, it is like giving food to you and going to another person who is getting nourished, while you are getting nothing. And that person also may not be able to get nourished because he does not know that you are throwing it to that person.
You should know that your Attention should absorb all that I am saying, “it is not meant for anybody else”. You better sit in thoughtless awareness that is the best way, so that it goes into you, otherwise it is like a lecture. But because you always think of others and you think of your problems all the time, something non-sensical is going on about which you are worried. (to be continued)
