The way to God is not through the intellect, but through intuition. Spirituality is measured by what you experience intuitively, from the communion of your soul with God. It is so simple if inside you are always talking to Him, ‘Lord, come to me!’
Why do you put up a barrier of doubt between yourself and God? If you love Him and inwardly talk to Him, and know He is with you, you will get much more result than from hours of just sitting absentmindedly in silence, supposedly meditating, with your mind wandering over everything but God.
~ Paramhansa Yogananda
Why is it misleading?
Because even a person who constantly has idle mind ravings will constantly deceive himself into thinking he or she is constantly praying or talking with a god
An attempt to silence the mind is far better than that
Sitting in mediation and letting the mind wander is not mediation
I have had many people tell me they talk with God. What they do is have a dialogue in their own mind – with God. This God can often be imaginary. Thus many fake misleading Guru have arisen
This is a very delicate balance.
The heart constantly wants to reach out to God. The mind wants to create an image of God. The ego will be in a haste and act out with the mental creation of our God
What is the solution? Simple. Be patient. Follow the wisdom of a Guru and scripture
Ask.
It is not impossible as you May think.
