The following quote is what I mentioned in the video about holding a question in your mind and heart. The act of earnestly seeking and holding a question in your heart can bring about a special personal transformation:
Maharaj: How do you go about finding anything? By keeping your mind and heart in it. Interest there must be and steady remembrance. To remember what needs to be remembered is the secret of success. You come to it through earnestness.
Questioner: Do you mean to say that mere wanting to find out is enough? Surely, both qualifications and opportunities are needed.
Maharaj: These will come with earnestness. What is supremely important is to be free from contradictions: the goal and the way must not be on different levels; life and light must not quarrel; behaviour must not betray belief. Call it honesty, integrity, wholeness; you must not go back, undo, uproot, abandon the conquered ground. Tenacity of purpose and honesty in pursuit will bring you to your goal.
Questioner: Tenacity and honesty are endowments, surely! Not a trace of them I have.
Maharaj: All will come as you go on. Take the first step first. All blessings come from within. Turn within. 'I am' you know. Be with it all the time you can spare, until you revert to it spontaneously. There is no simpler and easier way.
