See God Within

You have seen Shiva statues in temples. He is sitting with eyes closed, in samadhi. He is neither twisting a rosary, nor going to a temple. Also Guru Nanak is depicted as sitting in meditation, with eyes closed. So what are they doing? St. Kabir said, "Merge your mind in meditation, speaking is not necessary. Close the outer doors and open the inner." He is telling us to put the mind into the Holy Name. You may think that doing things with your eyes, ears, hands and feet is devotion. Stop this and close them. Don't direct your mind outwards. Become introspective. See God within.
