Swami Mukundananda
Should I try to silence my mind in meditation, or is there an easier way?
Turn the mind to God instead of silencing it
The mind doesn't stop working for a moment, so trying to silence it creates an unstable situation. Turn your mind towards the Divine and it will automatically rise beyond the realm of Maya, the material energy.
Don't kill the mind; make it Krishna's. Turn your mind towards the Divine and it will automatically rise beyond the realm of Maya.
