Dhyana (meditation) gives you the first inkling of Divine Bliss. Every one of you must strengthen your mind and make it aware of that bliss. Otherwise, there is a likelihood of the mind giving up all effort to reach what is now dismissed as ‘empty’ and ‘useless’. But once your mind is convinced that the moment of attunement with Chaitanya (Divine Consciousness) is a moment of complete divine power, then the effort will not be slackened; you will most certainly reach Atmic realization without further interruption.
- Dhyana Vahini, Chap 4, "Promote the Welfare of all beings".
