Swami Mukundananda
How do I meditate when my mind will not become still?
Divert the mind to God, do not force it still
The mind constantly generates thoughts, so stopping it from thinking is very difficult and unnatural. Engage the mind in God instead, by bringing the image of God before you when you close your eyes.
So you do a very simple thing: you divert the mind to God. It is like driving a bicycle: if you press the brakes you will fall either to the left or to the right.
