Thinking and Experience...

A clear distinction has to be made between thinking about God and the experience of God.

Each has its place.

Thinking and evaluating take place on the intellectual level;

one should not limit oneself to that but should try to arrive at the inner stillness, the experience of the Overself during meditation.

There should be a clear sense of the difference between these two.

The piling up of thoughts, however reasonable they are, acts only as a signal; they point out which way to go, but at the end drop them.
