Description
Talk 1: Easwaran offers some practical suggestions for improving our meditation. He points out that we have a fundamental choice, at all times: "Shall I do what is pleasing, appealing, only to me? Or shall I do what will benefit all?" By choosing the selfless way forward, our meditation will deepen. Talk 2: Easwaran explains how, as we go deeper in meditation, we confront some powerful distractions, which Easwaran calls by the Sanskrit term, samskaras. Samskaras are deep, personal tendencies to particular ways of thinking that are usually negative and self-willed, and that have been established over many years. He tells us: don't get rattled when these distractions come up - this is what we have been training for. Instead, we should be regular in our practice, give our very best, and cultivate our desire for greater effort, until victory over our samskaras is won.
