139. Perfunctory

Chinmoy, every day, being very busy, I meditate for fifteen minutes in a rather perfunctory manner. I wonder if my soul forgives me?

Chinmoy:

Madal, your soul will forgive you, but a day will come when you will not be able to forgive yourself. If you meditate in a mechanical and soulless way, your God-Realisation will always remain a far cry.
