How do you find answers to your deepest questions in life?
First you need to understand your own inner nature and its tendencies. Every night before you go to sleep, make it a point to sit and relax your whole body from head to toe. Then breathe deep breaths and spend some time just observing your natural breathing.
Finally come to a state of just observing your mind. Start this session with a deep question that you wish to find an answer to, and pray you get the answer through this meditative practice.
It may take quite a few days so don’t worry. Let the reply come again and again. Accept the answer only when you see that in that quiet state of mind, the answer has a tendency to be the same on most days. Then that is your natural tendency and you need to flow accordingly.
Don't repeat the words 'i am confused' more and more in your mind. That is a negative energy and it will welcome more and more thoughts that will further baffle you and you will be more confused, not knowing that you invited it all with your thought ‘i am confused'.
The mind remains confused more and more as you go through the process of cleansing that is meditation. As you become more conscious of your mind, the latent tendencies surface and you are baffled, 'Why is all this happening?'
Persevere. That is the WAY.
Keep practicing till you are able to just observe the Mind or your body or your breath without much distraction. This comes out of your long practice.
Learn to surrender to the Higher Power that governs this Universe, nay, trillions of cells in your body. You don't run them, do you? Then if it is run by some incredible intelligence with such perfection, how come you can't surrender to that Divine Power?
Once you learn to surrender the results of everything you do, you will gradually get into the zone of less confusion.
It is your ego that is creating the problem. Know that only ego can be confused. The Soul is Omniscient. There is no tint of confusion there.
Dwell on the thoughts of you being a soul and the purity of it all. Love all that comes into your life moment to moment, recognize them as the priceless gifts from the Divine, and cry in joy.
Love overflowing,
Baba
