EXPERIMENTS IN HEART-PURIFICATION
destructive power is a must for the survival of mankind. The best means for restraining outward ambition, temptation and dissatisfaction is to concentrate on Vishuddhi Kendra (The Centre of Purity) and Anand Kendra (The Centre of Joy). Concentration on these two centres helps in the development of inner vision and in decreasing the force of outward temptation. Anand Kendra is the great door to inner felicity. The man who succeeds in activating this centre of joy, experiences for himself the great virtue of this centre as a powerful means of establishing contact between the outer and the inner world. By these means it becomes easier to enter the subtle world of the spirit.
I should like to conclude by re-emphasizing that to practisc Preksha Meditation is not to become inert or futile. On the contrary, you will find at your disposal two swift horses-the truth of the doctrine and the truth of the practice. While expounding the doctrine, we also point out well-tried means towards mastering the truth thereof.
