Passage Meditation

When I finally chose to read the Bhagavad Gita, I chose a translation by Eknath Easwaran. I have been happy with my choice, as Easwarn's style speaks to me. I researched more on Easwaran and learned that he is known for helping establish Passage Meditation. Pick an inspirational passage, memorize it. Say it over and over when you need guidance the most...it's a concentrated effort to find peace. It's a form of dharana, focus with concentration. I like to find my passage meditation in lyrics to songs. One of my favorites is Love Rescue Me by U2/Bob Dylan.
