Question: <\/b> I have got some questions related to my experience during meditation as said by Vivekananda.
\nOnce I was trying to concentrate on the flame of a candle in my mind closing my eyes after a few moments. I withdrew my mind from the rest of the world and then I experienced acute silence. Then after a few moments, I felt as if my head and body moving in circular motion and then I felt acute silence. During this time I wasn’t even able to feel anything even my self. This was the state of bliss I believe. But still, I am a bit surprised and afraid of doing this again. I have experienced this twice for 2-hrs. Please guide me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Answer: <\/b> The fear you are having shows you are fully identified with body and the objects of the world. What you need most is purification of mind. Purify your mind and feel that you are Supreme Spirit.
\nFor the purification of the mind it is better to start meditating on your Ishta Devata in your heart level (not the eyebrow). You can keep in touch with our Mylapore Math and if you are not initiated it is advisable to have initiation (Mantra Diksha). But if you have already been initiated follow the instructions given by your Guru and discuss the matter with him.
