*Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation - * *The Power To Decide*

Sometimes, there are certain situations where I'm not so much faced with a
choice between truth and falsehood where the power to discern (discriminate)
is required, but I have to balance competing aims or priorities in deciding
on a course of action. There's great value in getting this right, because
poor judgment can entangle me in consequences from which it might take years
to recover. If I'm deflected because of my attachments or desires, I'll lose
my ability to decide accurately.
Understanding myself as a soul, and keeping my heart full and free through
my relationship with the Supreme Soul (meditation) makes my mind free from
waste thoughts. Having a clean, clear and concentrated mind helps me remain
in the best possible position to judge correctly. I'll be like the Statue of
Justice, wearing a blindfold as she carefully weighs the evidence: free from
prejudice (bias) arising from superficial appearances, above the influence
of situations and the emotions and opinions of others, perfectly centered,
she is optimally placed to sense the right way forward.
