"You sit in meditation for ten minutes after the evening bhajan session; so far, so good. But let me ask, when you rise after the ten minutes and move about, do you see everyone in a clearer light as endowed with Divinity? If not, meditation is a waste of time.
Do you love Me more, do you talk less, do you serve others more earnestly? These are the signs of success in meditation. Your progress must be authenticated by your character and behaviour.
Meditation must transmute your attitude towards beings and things, else it is a hoax. Even a boulder will, through the action of sun and rain, heat and cold, disintegrate into mud and become food for a tree. Even the hardest heart can be softened so that the Divine can sprout therein."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(From: "My Baba and I" by Dr. John S. Hislop)
