Question: You have told us in the past that we should meditate for at least 45 minutes and then increase it to 50, 60minutes and so on. Is 25 minutes not enough?

Babaji:

We recommend 45 minutes to 1 hour to begin with. My Guru always insisted on 1 hour. We reduced it to 45 minutes to make it easier for people in the beginning. If you observe, for the first 30 to 45 minutes, still the mind remains restless. So it is only in the final 5 to 10 minutes that a little meditation may occur.

In the same way, we spoke before about mantras traditionally being repeated 108 times. That number was not prescribed by The Divine; it has simply been found to be useful if the process is carried on that long.
