Question: My meditation is bringing up terrible feelings of self-loathing, worthlessness and fear. Please say something about this.

Babaji:

So much dirt has been acquired by the mind over so many lives. The process of meditation stirs up the dirt in the water, so to speak. Don't be
alarmed. A cleansing process is taking place. The subconsciously recorded experiences and feelings are surfacing. With more progress you will get the
peace you are looking for. These negative feelings will go. You should get guidance to proceed. This is a temporary phase, don't worry.

Question: What then is the purpose of the mind if it causes so much trouble?

Babaji:

To go back to the Self! The mind has lost its purpose and is wandering in search of peace. Everything is transitory except for the Self. The path
is now there for the mind to take, the Self is the target. You can have the Supreme Peace you are truly seeking.
