The beginning of her experiences was with miracles but the true taste<br />
of spirituality she got through meditation. It is said that one cannot attain<br />
spiritual wisdom without understanding one's true nature. Mind flies at a<br />
tangent all the time. Meditation is the process by which it is trained to<br />
acquire concentration. By meditation the mind and intellect gets purified<br />
and transformed. On this topic she was led to 'Dhyana Vahini' discourse<br />
by Sri Sathya Sai Baba, where it was said "Dhyanam (meditation) is<br />

personality of Godhead. The Lord himself as Paramatma, or the spiritual<br />
master sitting with in one's heart, gives the devotee exact direction by<br />
which he can gradually go back to Godhead"<br />
- From Krisna, ; Volume 2, by Swami Prabhupada.<br />
"The Vedas are the science of Nature and Universe conceived as an<br />
organic whole, as a living hierarchy - a science (Veda) framed by<br />
superior beings from a past universe. In the progress of the universe and<br />
individuals therein, there has been no time when higher types of beings<br />
were not present helping and guiding the growth and development of<br />
