152 The highest truth is that which we can only realize by plunging into it. And when our consciousness is fully merged in it, then we know that it is no mere acquisition, but that we are one with it.

Thus through meditation, when our soul is in its true relation to the Supreme Truth, then all our actions, words, behaviour, become true.

Let me give you a text of meditation which we have used in India.

OM. That means completeness; it is really the symbolical word meaning the Infinite, the Perfect, the Eternal. The very sound is complete, representing the wholeness of all things.

All our meditations begin with OM and end with OM. It is used so that the mind may be filled with the sense of the infinite Completeness and emancipated from the world of narrow selfishness.

Bhur bhuvah svah

Bhur means this earth.

Bhuvah means the middle region, the sky.

Svah means the starry region.
