It was in the era of radio days in 1936 Baba had instructed each person to go off alone for five to ten minutes and sit in a relaxed position, attempting to make the mind utterly blank.
He stated, "Don't think of anything - not even of me!" Calling their attention to the water flowing over the dam, Baba said, "If you find it difficult to stop the flow of thoughts, listen to the water flowing over the rocks. But be sure you are thoroughly relaxed."
After a few days, Baba asked how the exercise was going. Some were having trouble. He urged them to continue to try, stating: "The difficulty in realizing God lies in its infinite simplicity. Your difficulty is not your fault and you need not worry about it. It happens because your mind has been accustomed for ages to continually thinking and holding you in its command. If you cannot do so, I will help you. But I want you to try without straining, keeping yourself relaxed.
A Conversation with Faredoon Driver - Padri Vol 1 "Don't concentrate. Concentration produces ecstasy and trance and spiritual experience. Making the mind blank produces peace. It makes it possible for one to enter the Path.
A Conversation with Faredoon Driver - Padri Vol 2 "It is similar to climbing a mountain. When you reach the foot, before you start your ascent, you lay down your burden. When the mind becomes relaxed there is a tendency to doze. We must make the mind a blank consciously and at will.
A Conversation with Faredoon Driver - Padri Vol 3 "After all," he said with a smile, "I did not bring you all the way to India to show you the sights!" Explaining further about the mind, Baba said, "The whole creation is the result of the thinking mind. Mind binds you and mind liberates you - binds you to desires and liberates you from the same." –Lord Meher
