Samadhana - Fix Your Mind On The True Goal

In this talk, Swamiji discusses Samadhana, a quality necessary for a seeker of truth. Samadhana is where the mind is constantly fixed on the Sat lakshya (goal). The mind and the intelligence should be fixed on the non-changing, the change-less substratum.

It is an absolute faith in the inner presence/ God, a total reliance on Him. The entire earth and all celestial bodies are maintained by the one source, the Lord. A seeker will have to anchor his mind and intelligence on this Supreme source of all creation. Whatever comes and whatever goes, the mind must be restful on the ever-present, omnipresent Lord.
