As a preliminary exercise it is good to spend some time every day simply watching our minds, listening to those drum beats. We probably shall not like what we see and hear but we must be very patient and objective. The mind finding itself watched in this way will gradually grow calmer. If we continue this exercise regularly for several months we shall certainly make some advance toward mental control.
2. As suggested by swami Vivakananda….. Try to put your whole mind into the work on Hand. Learn to focus mind on each and every task of your life: If you can train your mind to maintain enough concentration to pay attention to each task from moment to moment this is more than enough. When you are reading , walking resting, talking, walking, eating whatever you do in your daily life, act with the mind that is calm and that is paying attention to each and every act.
Buddha used no instrument in the investigation other than his mind.
For mind control people commonly pay attention to their breath or the Body but you could also focuss on an Activity such as Swimming, yoga dancing, craft work, God. All that matters is that you choose a meditative object and return to it when you get distracted.
One can practice Yoga or Meditation ,Japa and prayer, Breath awareness for mind control.
Every one should note the point that Mind is your object but not the subject. Consciousness or Awareness or Soul or Self is the Main Subject.
Always feel that you are the Self or Consciousness or Awareness as suggested by all Yogis.

The famous philosopher Jiddu krishna murty on meditation.
If you can read your own mind you need not read any book in the world. Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life. perhaps the greatest and one cannot possibly learn it from any body. This is the beauty of it.
Meditation is the freedom from thousands of movements in the ecstasy of Truth Meditation is part of life meditation is not something different from daily life don not go off into the corner of a room and meditate for 10 minutes then come out of it and be a butcher. If you set out to meditation it will not be meditation.
Be absolutely alertand make no effort that is meditation.
Be alert to your thoughts and feelingsdon’t let one feeling or thought slip by without being aware of it, and absorbing all its content.
Meditation is rest a full stop to all activity —physical , mental -emotional .
Then you come to know who you are ? Meditation is not an effort. It is relaxation. It is not concentration —it is relaxation.
When you are utterly relaxed you came face to face with your being
When you have learnt the art of being at rest —you can be both active and restful together , because then you know that rest is something so inner tht it cannot be disturbed by anything outer. The activity goes on at the circumference at the Centre you remain restful.
Paradise is within you in your state of No-mind (Awareness or consciousness) And Hell is also within you in your mind. Man minus mind = God. Mind is the root cause of all worries.
If your attention is on Awareness you will not be disturbed by thoughts. ……Sri Ramana maharshi
Meditation brings peace beauty into your life. Meditation relaxes the body. Meditation calms the mind. Meditation reduce the tension Meditation improve your health Makes thinking clear and imagination It dispels sadness and confusion
How to meditate
” Dive Deep ” within your self and find yourself . This alone will solve all your problems and leave you in full mastery of every situation ……..only Awareness remains……Nisargadatta Maharaj
Meditation is the highest form of worship
” Communion with our true self ” is the most efficacious form of meditation.
Meditation is the greatest purifier of the mind. It is the technique for gaining mastery over the mind. Mind controlled is our best friend , uncontrolled is our worst enemy.
” Dive Deep” …Let us Dive deep into the recess of your heart until the vision of the Divine reveals itself. Let us dive deep into the debths of our being and attain true peace and joy…….Shri Ramakrishna paramahamsa...
DIVE DEEP within and find what is real in you. All you have to do is turn inside and meditate peacefully on the ” Self “ It is very important to become established in it. …..Sri Ramana maharshi
When you are utterly relaxed you start feeling your reality you come face to face with your being. Just think of the word relax Be settled.
When you are perfectly aware even for a single moment that moment is meditation. When there is no thought working inside you there is stillness and that STILLNESS is meditation.
Meditation is emptying yourself of all content all beliefs and ideologies. Meditation means to be in non-doing meditaion is not a doing but a state of being. It is s state of ones own SELF
Meditation simply means not focussing on anything at all. Meditation takes you to the inner most core of our being what is beyond body, mind and heart … the very centre of your Existence. When you want to close your eyes and focus your awareness on it source (on the roots) in a split second your life is transformed,
What is meditation ?
Meditation is making effort to be without effort . You have to be aware of being aware that is all.
Meditation process is very easy there is only one step that is Just turning IN . Go on turning in. Whenever you find a moment to turn, turn.
Transfer from mind to No mind is the whole journey. No mind is the door. Your own innermost centre is your real master. When you reach to the innermost you are no more. Become more alert more watchful more observant. Meditation is noting but a bridge to go within.
Meditation is entering into silence to see what is there. That pure awareness is DHYANA. Meditation should not be forced Meditation is to know the WITNESS>
The whole are of meditation is disappearance of the doe, disappearance of the mind. Meditation has no object. Be ready to die in meditation If you can die in meditation you will attain eternal life. You will become deathless.
You simply move into a deep relaxation. You move back to the SOURCE again. Consciously voluntarily totally you are merging into the whole existence
When you are not doing anything the energy moves towards the Centre. The moment doing enters you become tense. How to do ? What to do? How to succeed ?.
Watching is the key of meditation.
Watch your mind. Meditation is your intrinsic nature It is you. It is your being. You cannot have it you cannot possess it.
Meditation is not an effort against the mind. It is a way of understanding the mind. There is no need to do any action against the mind. Mind is one of the most beautiful mechanism it is a master piece. Just watch it and enjoy it. Watching the mind means look at it with deep love Meditation is not an effort against the mind. It is very loving way of witnessing the mind. When you watch the workings of your mind it stops on its own accord. Drop this idea of mind stopping just watch and be alert. Watching ultimately culminates in No mind. No mind does not come by killing and destroying the mind.
once you enter into your own being you have entered the temple.
This entry into ones own self is the ultimate growth. You suddenly blossom. One moment you were nothing and another moment a quantum leap You are all because you have tasted your being and that being is exactly the same as the universal being. But that is the only door available there is no other door. There is only one door which can help you and that is within you. Your inner being is not something that has to be developed it is already perfect. No spiritual; development is needed only it has to be discovered. Nothing has to be done. Nothing has to be known. You are already there where you are trying to reach.
