Mother said that there are two basic methods of meditation:
One is to concentrate on the breath observing each inhalation and exhalation.
Then, when the mind has become stilled in this manner, one should
practice vichara, inquiring "Who am I?" until the true Self is revealed.
She said that in this way one becomes a light unto oneself.
The second way is to think of one's mantra (or any name of
God) with each inhalation and exhalation, feeling that both the Name and the Breath are none other than God Himself —the very breath of life— thus becoming fully absorbed in this devotional awareness.
The first way is one of jnana and the second of bhakti.
Again She told me to think of the Pranava [Om] as much as
possible.
She said: "It must become so automatic that you cannot
breathe without remembering it.
Do your personal mantra when you sit for meditation and the rest of the time the Pranava".
