     True meditation helps us discover our inner identity.  It enables us to hear the divine voice in our heart,

     which illumines the path ahead.   It allows us to perceive and develop divine qualities.

                " Man is divine.  He can purify himself into perfect divinity by the process of dhyana,

                 taken up with eagerness and followed with faith by virtuous individuals. "

                                                                                                 ~  Sathya Sai Speaks 6, p.239  

      Would a miner leave a rich vein of gold in the ground?  Would a thief leave behind riches and take only

      trash?   Would a diver drop a pearl and take only sand?      Then why do we settle for the tinsel of the

      world while the greatest treasure lies untapped within us?

      The personality and body, which we take to be ourselves, is only a passing phenomenon. 

      Through meditation, we must discern the real from the unreal, the passing from the permanent, the

      valuable from the worthless.  The reality is God within each person.     He/She is omnipresent,

      manifesting himself as love and joy beyond understanding.  The goal of meditation must be to realize

      that joyful vision.

      Repetition of the name is one of its most effective techniques.

                    " By means of dhyana, you can realize that I am the resident in all hearts,

                      the urge, the motive, the guide, the goal.  Yearn for that vision, that awareness,

                      and make it your priceless possession. "        ~ Sathya Sai Speaks 7, pp.473-474
