007 What a negative teaching!

Paramahamsa Yogananda preached:


"Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time."



MY FEELINGS
*A person who reads less, becomes initially illiterate and ultimately inert. Reading, thinking and digesting helps in the metabolism of the brain, through continuous cell division.

*Meditation on only one thing serves no purpose, because meditating can take place only within limits of a person's intellectual perceptions the contours of which are determined by his studies, environmental exposures and emotional levels.

*Thinking about God all the time leads to 'obsessive compulsive disease (OCD)'. He will start to think that his hallucinations are his divine ecstatic fantastic grand experiences. He will even start seeing colors. Aurobindo's marathon poem Savitri has many such indications of hallucinative obsessions.
