Mother reads from Lights on Yoga, \u201cSurrender<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

and Opening\u201d. <\/font> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Here we are. Nothing to ask? Nobody has
\nanything to say?  <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

We can meditate for five minutes. Let us
\ntry collective meditation, shall we? It’s going to be a little difficult. We
\ncan try.  <\/span><\/p>\n

You would like to try on what we have
\nread?  <\/span><\/p>\n

Do not think, just concentrate like this:
\nlet what we have read enter into you, and try to experience it; try.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t try to think, to turn over ideas,
\nhave answers to questions, nothing of all that. Just remain like this (gesture<\/i>), open.  <\/span><\/p>\n

It was about opening, right through. You
\nshould let what was read enter into you, and then, in this way, do its work
\ninside you. You must remain as silent and quiet as possible.  <\/span><\/p>\n

We shall see what is going to happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Meditation
\nfor more than five minutes<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Something to say? No? Good!  <\/span><\/p>\n

But it was not bad for a beginning. It is
\nquite good.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Is that all? We don’t go farther? Nobody
\nhas anything to say?  <\/span><\/p>\n

Then it’s better to stop.  <\/span><\/p>\n
