Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q: Because I have too much work to do I keep forgetting to meditate. If I frequently forget like this, when am I going to make any progress?
B: Never mind. Jnana will not come in a day. Samskaras will only go gradually. Today we may think every four hours, 'Oh, I have forgotten to meditate'. Tomorrow we may remember every 3 1/2 hours. The day after every three hours. In this way enthusiasm for meditation will slowly come.
Why do you think, 'Why didn't I meditate?' or 'Why didn't I work?' If the thoughts 'I did' and 'I didn't' are given up, then all actions will end up as meditation. In that state meditation cannot be given up. This is the state of sahaja samadhi.
Q: Have I done punya in my previous births?
B: If not, how could these thoughts occur?
