Q. 274: Gurudev, it’s almost half way through the course and I still don’t feel much deep inner silence. I’m doing everything that I’m instructed to do including lots of seva. What else can I do in the remaining few days? Please help me.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Just relax. Meditating should be like lying on a massage table. So when you are getting a massage, what do you do, you just lie on the table and that’s it, and the masseur takes care of everything. In the same way when you are here you just sit and know that your meditation will be done for you. You wanting to do something in meditation is the biggest problem. There is a teacher, there is a guide, there is the Guru, and the Guru does the work for you. And you should have this right in the head first okay. The Guru is going to do meditation not me and relax, and see how it happens. Got it?

Otherwise it's like you lie on the massage table and you keep jittering, throwing your hands and legs, doing tantrums there on the massage table. Then what will a masseur say? He’ll say, ‘hey, keep quiet, don’t move.’ -Suppose you are taking acupuncture treatment and you are still not sure what will happen? You are moving all over the place, getting up and running and again lying down. So, just relax.
