Meditation Experiences

Question

I’ve seen so many things but I’m unable to understand most of them during meditation. For the past few months, I’ve been seeing some images, names and texts. I found out that I read some texts or books during meditation but when I’m aware of it or I’m conscious the texts will vanish. Also I’ve been having some vibration in my body like Kundalini. I also saw this text — 65th KPN.........PDF but couldn’t remember what’s in the dots. How do I become more enlightened spiritually and get the meaning?

Dear Friend, Wisdom!

You have written two inquiries, each with particular experiences in meditation. I remember a story about Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa: his disciple, the famous Vivekananda, reported that in meditation he was seeing a far away city and various people. Ramakrishna scolded him to ignore and not give any energy to those phenomenon. As Yogananda said to a visitor and his many questions: LOVE GOD!

Such things are a distraction to our keeping our feet on the ground and fulfilling our rightful duties in life. Pray instead to know the love of God and to share that love with all! ok?
