Listening is the first step to unclutching🔗

Question: Dear Swamiji, the moment I sit and try to unclutch from my thoughts, I have more thoughts, more problems! How can I sit for meditation or unclutching?

How will you not have more thoughts and problems! Unclutching is not like switching off the electricity to your house. It is like cleaning, sweeping and scrubbing your house! First, listen to your inner space. That is the first step for unclutching, for meditation, for your life.

But even to unclutch, you need to be in a space of completion. When you are drowned in your past, when your past is sitting on you as a dead weight, you will never be able to listen. Only when you want to responsibly work on your future, you start listening. Please listen! The dead past never lets you listen. The past, by its very nature, does not have life, and if you try to indulge continuously in the past, it destroys the future also. Only when completion with yourself happens, you learn to listen.
