Never Mind
A Conversation with Bad and Good Sense
I said some stupid things today.
Never mind, sit in meditation for a while. You won’t be called on to say anything at all!
When I listened to the news it got me really worried.
Never mind, listen to the Shabd instead, and hear the peace.
I keep seeing these images from the film I watched last night.
Never mind, the way to make them fade is to really focus at the eye centre.
The thought that keeps going round in my head is “I think Master’s forgotten me.”
Never mind, just remember to repeat the words he’s given you – and you’ll discover that could never be.
I don’t manage to meditate for the full time.
Never mind, put in more short sessions.
I’ve quarrelled with my husband.
Never mind, try offering some love and humility.
My body’s full of aches and pains.
Never mind, the nearer to the eye centre, the less you’ll feel them.
I’m worried about the children.
Never mind, they’ve got their own destiny. Do your best and trust the Lord.
I need a holiday and I’m not going to get one.
Never mind, an hour of concentrated meditation will refresh you like a seaside breeze.
It’s all too much effort, I want to give up this spiritual path.
NEVER!
Mind, sit down right here.… Yes, here, between the eyes. What do you see? Darkness? Good. Now go on being just there, repeating…
See,
It’s not so hard.… You’re feeling better? Settling in?
You want me to be quiet?
… Bliss …
