Attentive Handling of the Mind during Meditation | Prabhata Rashmih | Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

This audio discusses the common problem of all spiritual aspirants–“Many thoughts come during meditation”. Swamiji says that when the mind gets distracted or troubled by thoughts, one just has to delve into the mind, introspect. The thinking and distracted mind should be slowly led to non-thinking and non-distractedness. It should be led to its own itselfness. Ask the mind to keep quiet and the mind will simply cooperate. Meditation is thus a very pleasant, sensitive and attentive handling of your mind, says Swamiji.
