Question: Swamiji, you say that meditate daily in the morning for ½ an hour and stay in the state of meditation for the rest 23 ½ hours. We stay in such an environment where we have deal with negative people the whole day. Knowing or unknowingly our attention is drawn towards the negative talk in the news papers and television. Won’t these negative energies affect us? What should we do to save ourselves from it?

Answer: Meditate every morning and connect yourselves with the supreme energy and remain connected with it the whole day. When we do not have full faith in it we keep on getting negative thoughts. Our heart chakra spoils due to it. When we have full faith in it then our existence is no longer separated and then we remain connected with the supreme energy the whole time. Till our chitta is weak save it from people, television and news which has negative energy. First we will have to develop ourselves. We will have to control our chitta. Till we do not attain this state all these things will intervene in our spiritual practice and will become an obstacle. Once you attain the state above this then you will not be affected by television, news or such kind of negative things. Example – when all the people in the house were seeing the program of songs in television and were also calling me to see it then I started giving vibrations through the medium of those songs. Then after some time all of them went into trance. This means that till you do not attain the upper state, stay away from such negative things because seeing from eyes and hearing from ears, both these affects our brains the most.
