Reflect on this:  When talking to someone, isn’t it normal to want to also hear his response? After praying and singing to God, then, why not listen for His answer in your soul?  Meditation is that process of listening. Meditation is making yourself receptive to His silent inspiration within.

The essence of yoga is the silence and receptivity that the practice of the techniques induces in the mind. So, be mad for God, but more and more let that madness come from Him. Be intoxicated not with your own feelings, but with His rapture in your soul.

To listen for God’s response after meditating for a time, focus your attention in the area of the heart. Picture there an upturned lotus, open and waiting, and KNOW God’s response will come to you.  Relax and wait patiently with certainty that Gods has been listening to you and wants and does respond. We need only to hear!
