Affirmation O Spirit! Ever-existing, ever-conscious, ever-new Bliss! Teach me to drink the everlasting nectar of joy found in the fountain of meditation. Having Thee as the deepest joy of deepest meditation, I know that all things - prosperity, health, and wisdom - will be added unto me. Without Regular Meditation, Material Duties Can Become Torture To speak of seeking God and material fulfillment together sounds good; but unless you meditate deeply and regularly so that you anchor your consciousness in God first, the world will claim all your attention and you will have no time for Him. Without the consciousness that God is with you, your material duties usually turn into methods of torture. But if you have God with you all the time, and do your duties with the consciousness of God, you can be the happiest person. “Their thoughts fully on Me, their beings surrendered to Me, enlightening one another, proclaiming Me always, My devotees are contented and joyful.”* *Bhagavad Gita X:9 -Journey to Self-Realization p 276; Affirmation, Metaphysical Meditations p 16 and 56. *Photo by Ari Weinkle: http://photography.ariweinkle.com/
