Swami once said wonderfully about how anyone can come
closer to Him :
To be closer to me you have to do Athma
vichara.Initially you must obtain the knowledge of MBA :
M-MIND
B-BODY
A-ATHMA
Here you are an ordinary worldly man. Do your duties
properly here. Then slowly u ll be promoted to MA.
M-MIND
A-ATHMA
When you come to this stage you will not give any
importance to body,level and even you can't even recognise the transformation
from MBA to MA.Here all duties and worldy thoughts ll go away from you. Then
after continuing the Sadhana you will be again promoted to A - A-ATHMA
Here only athma is there, no mind and body this stage
is called as Samadhi in terms of Vedantha.. Attaining this stage is easy for
those who love to do Sadhana. Attaining this stage makes u see nothing other
than me...ME!!! Then you can recognise that You and Me are one!! When You
become one with ME then no need of stating-"closer to me" because you will be
then ME the Supreme!!!!
