In this weeks meditation exercise, Sri Chinmoy asks us to bring forward the power of the soul — that spark of divinity which resides in all of us.

Our job is to keep the mind as calm and tranquil as possible — like a still lake — and to keep our heart-doors open. The rest will unfold as time passes.

Some of the great secrets of meditation are to practice regularly and sincerely — and to have perseverance and never give up (no matter how well or how badly we might think we are doing)! With the right attitude, the capacity to meditate deeply will come with time and bring with it immeasurable joy.
