Date Posted:	Thursday, 10/13/2005 3:07 PM MDT

waheguru ji,

How should I intrepret smelling fragrances during meditation? It has been happening to me lately, while just sitting and relaxing, or during meditation sometimes that suddenly there would be whiff of pine wood or sandalwood. It comes and goes. Is it something I should pay attention to or just keep doing my daily routine. I admit that I do enjoy those moments.

Thank you for any input !!

God Bless

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Various senses may open up during meditation, however, best thing is to ignore them, they are not the purpose of meditation, they are distractions. It's like taking the elevator when you want to reach the top floor of a department store, but the elevator doors open on the second floor, and it looks/smells so delightful, that you may be tempted to get off and then you never reach your intended destination on the top floor.SP
