Index
Consequently, if you really
wish to profit by a half-hour's meditation make up your mind to put aside
everything else. If duties occur to mind, decide when you will attend to
them, and immediately dismiss them. When the past comes up laden with regret,
leave it to bury its own dead. Tell the future that you will attend to
it when it arrives. If part of your consciousness is flying north, part
south and the rest up and down, call it in from all directions, as if you
were drawing in an arm, gathering your forces unto yourself. Settle down
reposefully upon your chair. Let the present little environment contain
all there is of you. When the mind flies off again, bring it back. Yield
yourself to the moment in full enjoyment. Disconnect from the rushing currents
of modern thought, and become as moderate as if you were back in the old
stage-coach days, before the era of record-breaking express trains and
automobiles. Do not simply banish all thoughts from your mind, but whatever
you think let your thoughts radiate, as it were, from the eternal present.
Remember that you are a soul dwelling in eternity. Live in the thought
of eternity for a while, and let the world of time rage on.
If you do not see what is wise
for you to do next year, what plans you ought to adopt for the coming month,
what you should do tomorrow, ask yourself if there is something for you
to do
