Babaji says the mind seeks the same peace it had when in the Self and will not stop with objects, work, or even meditation. No amount of worldly power or achievement can manufacture peace. Peace comes only when the mind becomes quiet.

Baba explains that Self-Realization involves achieving mental quietude through meditation and becoming aware of one's Self as Pure Consciousness.

When the mind becomes silent through meditation, the Consciousness of Existence is revealed. Attention to thoughts and worldly appearances binds the mind, while withdrawing attention returns it to the Self.

This profound Q&A session with Baba delves into the concept of Divine Mother, explaining the symbolic significance of Hiranyagarbha (the golden womb) as the source of all creation.

To achieve inner peace and self-realization, focus first on calming the mind. Begin by practicing one hour of complete mental stillness, without imagination or external distractions.

Babaji emphasized that our suffering stems from identifying with the body and mind rather than understanding our true Self. He explained that to realize the Self, we must silence the mind, which is preoccupied with thoughts and imaginations.

Baba discusses the significance of meditation in gaining one's true identity and overcoming the obstacles to gaining Self-Realization.

Shift focus from worldly thoughts to the Self for true meditation, achieving self-realization by paying attention without engaging thoughts.
