Question: I found my thoughts seemed to come in a wave.

Babaji:

Yes, thoughts do come because when you close the eyes, meditation is a purification process. The mind, called "the consciousness”, will have absorbed imprints since time immemorial. They are all known as the acquired habits of the mind. Also we call it samskaram. So when you sit and close the eyes a purification process starts. The mind gets attracted to the brain. The brain acts like a tape recorder and the mind is like the tape which has recorded every habit since time immemorial. So whenever you make a judgment and recognise an existence, your mind, unknown to you, absorbs the imprints also. It sits in the subconscious state but gets evaporated during meditation. That is when all the thought processes and visualisations might start appearing to you, all you have to do is just have patience and allow it to happen, without trying to think what it is. There is a very silky thread of difference when the thought appears and the mind thinks what it is. The mind cannot keep quiet. It thinks, "This is good, this is bad, why is this not happening?” So, if you can apply just a little bit of will power, just watch them then these imprints get purified and evaporated. Then the mind gets more and more concentrated. Your meditation will be more effective as it progresses.
