On one occasion, Meher Baba said to His followers:
“From today I want everyone to sit silent and alone for five minutes and try to look within. It is not a meditation, it is just a ‘looking within.’ Now, how to do this?
“Sit in a relaxed position — don’t think of anything, not even of Baba. Close the eyes and mentally look within and imagine yourself as Infinite within.
“Let the idea that you are Infinite remain for five minutes.
“How do you imagine yourself Infinite?
“You can imagine the Infinite as sky, ocean or vast emptiness. And let this one thought be in your mind — that you are Infinite within.”
