the way your body basically works is like this: it sees or hears something. It decides if that something is pro or contra survival. If it is pro survival thoughts of pleasure and desire arise. If that something is contra survival, various negative thoughts and emotions arise.
Now, the last thing the biological machine needs when sitting down to meditate is to see or hear things which threaten it’s survival. Understanding surrender, we have just made our job much harder.
So what to do? I have an idea, give ourselves from pro survival pictures to look out. Hey, how about Guru Siyag’s face? And what about some soothing sounds? How about that Secret Mantra that Gurudev initiated you with?
Well, what do you know? We have the perfect combination of pictures and sounds, to keep the biocomputer away from negativity for a good 15 minutes! Righteous!
