The mind is the thing that troubles all of us, now going this way and now that way, wandering where it will. But we should not be sorry for this, because without this wandering of the mind there would be no evolution. It is the wandering mind that makes evolution possible. We must give the mind work, to keep it occupied, so that it does not wander. And what is the best thing the mind can be occupied with? It is the thought of the Divine. When it constantly thinks of the Divine, then we have in Sahaj Marg, what we call Constant Remembrance.
Constant Remembrance of God is a special feature in spirituality. The method for cultivating constant remembrance is to think with firm conviction during your leisure hours whether in office or at home, in the street or in the market that God is pervading all over and everywhere and you are thinking of Him. Try to remain in the same thought as long as you can. We must remain in touch with the idea of God in all phases of our mental and physical activities.
We must feel ourselves connected with the Supreme Power every moment with an unbroken chain of thought during all our activities. The idea of Guru as the Supreme Divine force is very helpful in spiritual pursuit. You depend upon his guidance thinking him to be a super-human being. If you go on with your busy routine of life dedicating everything to your Master, imagine what good will it bring to you in the long run. While doing a thing think that you are not doing it for yourself but for your Master, rather think that Master himself is doing it for himself.
While at the breakfast table, you must think that your Master is breaking his fast. When you go to the office, think that your Master is doing it all. When you come back from office, your children rejoice to see you after so many hours. You too enjoy the merriment and it is but natural. Your attention for a while is diverted towards them, and you feel a bit away from the sacred thought. What you are to do then is to think that your Master within is himself enjoying and you shall be in touch with the same sacred thought again.
Even during your meditation, if you cultivate this feeling and maintain the outlook that your Master is doing everything in your place, you shall not only be in constant remembrance all the while, but your actions will cause no impression whatsoever, and so you will cease making further samskaras.
