4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 20203

When I get sleepy during meditation, I often just sit in a quietly concentrated wakefulness and look at the Mother’s photo or your photo. Can I get the same amount of benefit simply by looking at Mother’s photo or yours with all the concentration I can command?

Yes, very many do.

Sometimes in that state I pray; sometimes the inside is void – no thoughts or words at all, so I simply gaze. Am I pursuing the right line?

Yes.
