Meditation: Its Process, Practice, and Culmination
Swami Satprakashananda
A practical approach to the path and practice of meditation. Included in this study are meditations the swami directed during his scriptural classes, an examination of the four yogas, and a discussion on their culmination in the realization of the non-dual Brahman.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
