GAYAN 259 - BOULA -218 –As the Sun-glass reflects the heart of the  
sun, so the contemplative heart reflects the divine qualities.
 
 
 
Then comes mastery of the feelings, of the heart. There must be no  
feeling of revenge, of unkindness, of bitterness against anyone in the  
heart. When such a feeling comes, one must say: this is rust coming  
into my heart. When all such feelings are cleared off the heart, it  
becomes like a mirror. A mirror without rust reflects all that is  
before it; then everything divine is reflected in the heart, then all  
inspirations, intuitions, impressions come, and what we call  
clairvoyance. There is no need to go after such things; they come of  
themselves.

Contemplation is not much different from concentration, the difference  
being only that in concentration the mind holds an object, in  
contemplation the object holds the mind.  Concentration itself, when  
mastered, turns into contemplation.  The contemplative person is he  
who easily holds in mind all he thinks about.  The mystics contemplate  
upon the sacred names which signify the different attributes of God.   
By contemplating upon divine attributes man wakens the same attributes  
within himself, his heart reflects the light of that divine attribute  
which he contemplated upon.
