Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Essential of Spiritual life
Before the highest Truth
is realised meditation on the Divine are mostly imaginations, but they are to baseless.
for there are imaginations and imaginations.
By seriously thinking of the castle in the air, one is not able to live in it. By
taking the mirage to be real, one can near quench one’s thirst. By taking the mother
–of-pearls to be silver, one is not able to buy food for appeasing one’s hunger.
These are also, they take us way from Truth and make us live in a world of illusion . as distinguished from these ,
there are imaginations that are based on Reality and help us in the supreme
quest. The self conscious bubble of the human soul by meditating on the ocean, realities its true reaction
with the ocean and becomes one within . By dwelling on the true nature of the
Infinite Light, the living ray of light
reflected on a practical of sand becomes indentified with it . the tiger
accustomed to thinking that it is a sheep knows itself to be a tiger again by
constantly thinking that it is really a tiger and not a sheep . before knowledge
illuminates the soul. It is with thoughts founded on Reality that the forces of
ignorance have to be counteracted. These thoughts may be imaginations in the
sense, but they are imagination that takes us to the Real. 
It is thus that the
bound soul realizes its union or unity with God, the infinite Principle . the
process in , as Sri Ramakrishna puts it, like the removal of a thorn in the flesh
by means of another thorn form the true. When the first thorn has been taken
out. Both may be thrown away.
From theory to practice

By Sant Rajinder Singh
Just as physics or
chemistry could be complicated if the teacher is not sure of the fundamentals,
with spirituality, we need to go to those who know the subject clearly, so that
they can guide us past all the hurdles. How far teachers can take us depends on
how far they have gone.
Just as we can perform
some of our experiments in a science laboratory, similarly, our spiritual
laboratory is our body and aspiritual guide teaches us the way to do the
experiments here.
They help us connect
with the inner Light and Sound so that we can go within, experiment and watch
our progress. They can give us not only the theory but also the practical
aspect of Self-realisation so that we can experience God.
A spiritual guide wants
us to know who we really are. They help us realise that we are not the body;
that the real thing is the soul; that the soul in us is a part of God, and we
have to love and respect every human being, and each form of creation.
If we can get to a stage
where we realise that the soul in each form of creation is a part of God, then
we will have no trouble seeing the Light of God in everyone.
As soon as we get to
that state where we see the Light of God in everyone, then the connection of
our soul with God happens immediately. Once we go within and we do the
experiments in this laboratory that God has given us, then we can see for
ourselves the benefits of meditation.

But, if He exists?
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7
minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his
colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting
ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The
doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten
minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire
lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you
grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
