Himalayan Guru Says Meditation Requires Preparation and Discipline

Jagadeesh Giri Baba explained that meditation is more than sitting quietly with closed eyes.

He said people should prepare their bodies, minds and daily habits.

He recommended sitting on a simple mat on the ground.

He also advised eating pure food, preferably cooked by oneself.

According to him, eating gradually less may help spiritual practice.

He said people should not try to force all thoughts away.

Instead, they should honestly ask questions about their own existence.

He said this can lead to inner quiet and deeper understanding.

He also said a true Guru combines discipline with love and does their duty sincerely.
