Constant Meditation

Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

The company of saints is a very helpful instrument for liberation. What is heaven? To be born in the company of wise people is itself the attainment of heaven. Consider yourself lucky if your mind becomes fed up with worldly objects. The goddess of sensuality us very fond of the human sacrifice, and she likes it fried alive! The slaves of the belly cannot have the darshan of God. Truly blessed is the one who is completely desireless.

Always remember that we are from the abode of God and that we are Gods entitled to enjoy the nectar of immortality. We are but visitors to this foreign town that is this illusory life for just a few days. The only instrument for liberation is the state of desirelessness. Consider it an offering to the all-devouring death if you have many children. When the crop of illusion is ripe, death devours it. Devotion to the true Guru, the Sadguru, is the birthplace of spirituality. 

One who constantly craves after sense objects is immersed in those objects, and one who meditates of the Self becomes the Self. Do not say, "I will meditate on God later. I will do it some time later." You should constantly meditate, contemplate, and let your mind dwell on the Self with great love for it. This is the sign of Self-attainment.

Continuous contemplation, like a steady stream of ghee or the constant flow of a river, is superior to intermittent contemplation. - From Upadesha Saram by Ramana Maharshi
