When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe you said that you should stick to a fixed amount of time for meditations and not deviate from this duration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does that mean If I regularly meditate for 20 minutes and I only have time for 15 that I do not get some benefit from the shorter amount of time?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know these are concrete questions but it sounds like from your response that there are specifics to meditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also I read in a book (Surfing in the Himalayas)\u00a0that in order to be enlightened one needs the help of an enlightened master.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this so?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meditating your full instructed time is the ideal, but meditating some is always better than none at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you meditate for 15 minutes, you will get the benefit of those 15 minutes of meditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as 6 hours of sleep is not as good as 8 hours, but it\u2019s a lot better than no sleep at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, an enlightened master is understood to be your higher self, your Atman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The guidance of a spiritual teacher gives voice to your inner self toward its complete realization.<\/span><\/p>\n

This spiritual direction can speak to you from other sources, or directly from within.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the knowledge needs to be conveyed to you, it will come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you need to hear it from a bearded saint from the Himalayas, in a communion with Nature outdoors, a friend, a book, or silent insight\u2013your cosmic self will orchestrate the necessary master to guide you unerringly on your way.<\/span><\/p>\n
